Description
Summary:Application of photochemical processes for the environment protection against plastic waste has been shown in this communication. The ways of acceleration of decomposition of high molecular compounds including the effect of UV-radiation, metal salts and hydrogen peroxide are shown. The results of photo-oxidative degradation of selected commercial polymers using IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, viscometry, gel permeation chromatography and optical microscopy has been presented.
