Survivability of Polyethylene Degrading Microbes in the Presence of Titania Nanoparticles
The bacterial degradation of Polyethylene, not unlike the other plastic materials, is generally very slow. The presence of titania (TiO2) nanoparticles (TNPs) faster photocatalytic degradation of polyethylene can take place which can help in accelerating the bacterial degradation; in the presence of TNPs, polyethylene is initially photo catalytically degraded to smaller pieces which allows the bacteria initially degrade polyethylene to smaller size that allow t... view moreĀ»
