Abstract

This chapter deals with the biodegradability of vinyl ester-based polymers with a special emphasis on poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl alcohol). A proper discussion of the importance of the biodegradability of a certain polymer class cannot be made without understanding the impact that polymer class has on the environment. Therefore, apart from discussing the actual biodegradation mechanisms, other issues will be addressed. These include, but are not limited to, how long the class of vinyl ester-based polymers has been known and produced on an industrial scale, what quantities are produced and released into the environment each year, and what applications are addressed with this polymer class. We will also look at the general physical and chemical properties of this polymer class and how these properties can influence biodegradability. After a discussion of what “biodegradability” actually means – and what not – the mechanisms for the biodegradation of poly(vinyl ester)s will be discussed in more detail and a summary given of the biological systems able to process poly(vinyl ester)s.
