Characterization and in vitro degradation of poly(octadecanoic anhydride)

Abstract: Poly(octadecanoic anhydride) (POA) has been prepared by melt polycondensation of octadecanoic diacid. POA was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The results of in vitro degradation and SEM micrographs show that the erosion process of POA is neither bulk nor perfect surface erosion but rather has elements of both in phosphate buffer at 37°C. The moving erosion front is characteristic of surface erosion… Show more

“…The biodegradation of the polymer blend samples was monitored by excavating them from the soil every seven days for a period of four weeks and the degradation was calculated by measuring the weight loss per week using equation 1. This method is commonly known as "degradation by weight loss" (Yang et al, 2006;Dong et al, 2008;Maryam and Hadi, 2016;Mostafa et al, 2018). This procedure was repeated for all the produced samples for this period of time.…”
