METHOD OF DECOMPOSING UNSATURATED CARBOXYLIC ACID COPOLYMER

摘要

A method of decomposing an unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer which comprises bonding to a molecular chain thereof a functional group having the property of generating a free radical and then bringing a white-rot fungus or an enzyme excreted from a white-rot fungus into contact with the unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer. The method enables an unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer to be decomposed without adversely influencing the natural environment.
