BIODEGRADATION STUDY OF POLYMERS UNDER THERMOPHYLIC CONDITIONS. APLICATION TO COMPOSTING AND ENVIRONMENTAL BIODEGRADATION

Entity: 
Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid – Univ. Autónoma de Madrid
Type: 
Spanish R+D plan
Leader: 
Abrusci, Concepción
ICTP Personal: 
Departamento de Química Macromolecular Aplicada. Catalina Lapuente, Fernando; Corrales Viscasillas, Teresa
Start: 
1 January 2011
End: 
31 December 2011
Summary: 

In the present Project, several
thermophylic bacteria has been isolated
and characterized. These strains has
been used to study the biodegradation at
composting temperatures of commodity
polymer films previously photodegraded.
Budget: 16.300 €
