Marble surfaces by using biodegradable polymers.

Hence by using these types of polymers on the marble surface it may slow down the gypsum formation. In this study two different groups of biodegradable polymers were used and tested as a coating agent for preventing gypsum formation on marble surfaces in laboratory conditions. The use of biodegradable polymer poly l lactide pla as a coating agent on the marble surface showed a great potential to fulfill the principles of the international conservation community of historic monuments and building. Uncoated control marbles and biodegradable polymer coated marbles were exposed at nearly 8 ppm so2 concentration at 100 relative humidity conditions in a reaction.

Plastic materials are widely used in agricultural applications to achieve food security for the growing world population. We present a novel approach that allows tracking of carbon from biodegradable. Biodegradable polymers are a special class of polymer that breaks down after its intended purpose by bacterial decomposition process to result in natural byproducts such as gases co 2 n 2 water biomass and inorganic salts.
