Abstract
The state-of-the-art in the field of polymeric materials that can degrade under environmental conditions into environmentally harmless compounds is reviewed. It is shown that the most efficient method for the production of such materials involves the creation of composites based on synthetic and natural polymers, in particular polysaccharides. Studies performed at the Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, have demonstrated that biodegradable composites consisting of various polysaccharides with LDPE and polylactide may be obtained by an ecologically pure solid-phase method under the action of high-temperature shear deformation.
