Abstract

Biodegradation ability of synthetic polymer materials is an urgent problem of modern ecology situation. A known new biodegradable polymer is polyangelicalactone (PAL). In this paper, styrene-α- angelicalactone copolymers were obtained by radical polymerization. The resulting copolymers have physical and mechanical properties similar to those of polystyrene and its graft-copolymers with PAL. Both they were mechanically destroyed when incubated in gray forest soil over 28 weeks. The obtained results show that the modification of polystyrene with the impurities of α-angelicalactone does not worsen the mechanical properties of the copolymers but instead gives them biodegradation abilities
