Disintegration of plastics on and in soil
About
With a mesoscale test stand developed at Fraunhofer UMSICHT, the influencing factors of soil type, moisture and UV radiation can be investigated. Particularly, their joint influence on the aging and degradation behaviour of plastics can be observed. Synergetic effects can thus be considered. Samples are regularly taken and analysed for their optical and morphological properties using microscopy, DSC, GPC and IR.
