Difference between Biodegradation and Polymer

Biodegradation vs. Polymer

Biodegradation is the disintegration of materials by bacteria, fungi, or other biological means. A polymer (Greek poly-, "many" + -mer, "part") is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits.

Similarities between Biodegradation and Polymer

Biodegradation and Polymer have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Carbon, International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, List of synthetic polymers, Oxygen, Plastic, Polyester, Polyethylene, Polylactic acid, Polyvinyl chloride, Redox, Wool.

Polylactic acid

Poly(lactic acid) or polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA) is a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch (in the United States and Canada), cassava roots, chips or starch (mostly in Asia), or sugarcane (in the rest of the world).

Polyvinyl chloride

Polyvinyl chloride, also known as polyvinyl or '''vinyl''', commonly abbreviated PVC, is the world's third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer, after polyethylene and polypropylene.
