Study of Degradation Response of a Biopolymer Using Simple Regression Modelling

摘要

Biodegradable polymer plastics have in recentyears engendered considerable scientific interest due on account of their potential to be both technically viable and economically affordable alternatives to the family of conventional plastics due to aspects and intricacies specific to environmental concerns. Biodegradable polymers have in recent years provided much interest due on account of their degradability. The percentage degradation of the specific biopolymer that is chosen and used for a spectrum of performance-specific applications plays an important role in selecting the appropriate blend for the polymers chosen and used for the purpose of manufacturing. This research paper provides a cursory overview of the correct fit that is required for proper degradation of a biopolymer that can essentially be achieved by a polymer blend using simple linear regression analysis.
