The interest in producing biodegradable polymers by chemical treatment, microorganisms and enzymes has increased to make it easier to dispose after the end of its use without harming the environment. Biodegradable polymers reported a set of issues on their way to becoming effective materials. In this article, biodegradable polymers, treatment, composites, blending and modeling are studied. Environmental fate and assessment of biodegradable polymers are discussed in detail. The forensic engineering of biodegradable polymers and understanding of the relationships between their structure, properties, and behavior before, during, and after practical applications are investigated.

Several polymer composites formed from nylon 6/CaCO 3 with different ratios and particle sizes were prepared using modified and unmodified CaCO 3 as inorganic filler. The modification of CaCO 3 surfaces was carried out by adsorption of oleic acid from toluene. TGA and DSC measurements show that the glass transition temperatures reduced by the presence of inorganic filler, whereas the melting temperature did not influenced. In all prepared polymer composites, the presence of filler accelerates the degradation process of the polymer. Dielectric properties of the investigated samples were studied in the frequency range from 45 Hz to 1 MHz and at temperatures ranging between 50 and 200• C. The presence of CaCO 3 led to a remarkable decrease in the conductivity of nylon 6.

In this paper, we study strong convergence theorems for a generalized three-step iterative scheme with errors to approximate common fixed points of three asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings in real Banach spaces. Our results generalize and improve upon the corresponding results in [
