Degradation of plastic waste due to wave action

Degradation of plastic waste due to wave action

Plastic degradation due to ultraviolet (UV) exposure is traditionally studied in isolation, without external factors. This report explores the combination factors of UV exposure and wave action, to mechanically agitate the material and observe effects more closely resembling that of real-world scena...

description Plastic degradation due to ultraviolet (UV) exposure is traditionally studied in isolation, without external factors. This report explores the combination factors of UV exposure and wave action, to mechanically agitate the material and observe effects more closely resembling that of real-world scenario weathering.
