The first part of this volume focuses on biosynthesis, metabolism, biodegradation, functions, properties and applications of miscellaneous polymers, such as hemozoin, thymine–containing styrene polymers, polythioesters, polyphosphate, polyhydroxymethionine, polyketides, and natural polyacetals. The second part then goes on to treat the biodegradation of a wide range of synthetic polymers, e.g.
∗ substituted cellulose
∗ nylon
∗ polycarbonate
∗ polyvinyl alcohol
∗ polyurethanes
∗ polystyrenes
∗ polyethylene
∗ polyanhydrides.
