Evaluación de la degradación ambiental de materiales termoplásticos empleados en labores agrícolas en el cultivo de banano en Colombia

Abstract: Resumen: La producción de banano es una dinámica actividad económica en Colombia, sin embargo durante las labores agrícolas, las plantas deben ser unidas unas a otras a través de cuerdas. Esta prácticas contribuye a solventar el peso de los frutos antes de la cosecha. Cuerdas de polipropileno son utilizadas para este fin. Sin embargo, esta práctica genera problemas ambientales en las regiones de cultivo, haciendo necesario identificar materiales biodegradables alternativos. En este estudio, muestras de polipro… Show more

“…Starch has been used in the last years in the plastic industry with two main goals. The materials can be processed to end products having acceptable physical and chemical properties and the biodegradability of the products may open an avenue for increasing usage of farm commodities and other renewable resources 1–5. The biocompatibility of starch has also become a field of interest visioning medical applications 6–8.…”
