Summary
The research activity undertaken during the present PhD thesis provides important information with respect to synergistic effects of microbial/enzymatic attack and physical-chemical parameters in promoting the degradation of partially oxidized full-carbon backbone polymers, thus allowing for a better design of oxo-biodegradable materials to be really and ultimately biodegraded under different natural environments.
