Biopolymers are polymers that can be found in or manufactured by, living organisms. These also involve polymers that are obtained from renewable resources that can be used to manufacture Bioplastics by polymerization. Bioplastics are the plastics that are created by using biodegradable polymers
In the recent years, bio-based and biodegradable products have raised great interest since sustainable development policies tend to expand with the decreasing reserve of fossil fuel and the growing concern for the environment. Bio-Polymers are a form of polymers derived from plant sources such as sweet potatoes, soya bean oil, sugarcane, hemp oil, and corn starch. These polymers are naturally degraded by the action of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae. Bio-plastics can help alleviate the energy crisis as well as reduce the dependence on fossil fuels of our society. They have some remarkable properties which make it suitable for different applications. This paper tries to give an insight about Bio-plastics, their composition, preparation, properties, special cases, advantages disadvantages, commercial viability, its life cycle, marketing and pricing of these products.
As a result, the market of these environmentally friendly materials is in rapid expansion,
10 –20 % per year.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. History
Biodegradable polymer began being
sparking interest during the oil crisis in
1970’s. as oil prices increased, so did the
planning and creating of biodegradable
materials. The 1980’s brought items such
as Biodegradable Film, sheets and old
forming materials. Green materials or
plant based materials have become
increasingly more popular.
4. Definition of Biodegradation
The ASTM defines biodegradable as “capable of
undergoing decomposition into carbon dioxide,
methane, water, inorganic compounds, or
biomass in which the predominant mechanism is
the Enzymatic action of microorganisms, that
can be measured by standardized tests, in a
specified period of time, reflecting available
disposal condition.
ASTM : American Society of Testing and Materials
5. Biodegradable Polymers
general scientific definition of a biodegradable
polymer :
A polymer in which degradation is mediated at least in
part by a biological system.
polymer that will fully decompose to carbon dioxide, methane,
water, biomass and inorganic compounds under aerobic or anaerobic
conditions.
A vast number of biodegradable polymers (e.g.
cellulose, chitin, starch, polyhydroxyalkanoates,
polylactide, polycaprolactone, collagen and other
polypeptide) have been synthesized or are formed in
natural environment during the growth cycles of
organisms.
6. Classification biodegradable
polymers from biomass such as agro-
polymers from agro-resources (e.g.,
starch or cellulose)
polymers obtained by microbial
production such as the polyhydroxy
alkanoates (PHAs)
polymers conventionally and chemically
synthesized from monomers obtained
from agro-resources, e.g., the polylactic
acid (PLA)
polymers obtained from fossil resources.
9. Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are the most abundant
macromolecules in the biosphere.
These complex carbohydrates constituted of
glycosidic bonds are often one of the main structural
elements of plants and animals exoskeleton .
Examples of polysaccharides is :
Starch
Chitin
Chitosan
Pectins
10. Proteins
They are an important renewable resources
produced by animals, plants, and bacteria.
For example :
In terms of potential sources, soy protein, corn
protein (zein) and wheat proteins (gluten) are
among the main plant proteins.
Casein, collagen protein or gelatin, and keratin
are important animal proteins. Lactate
dehydrogenase,
chymotrypsin, and fumarase constitute the main
bacterial proteins.
13. Polyhydroxy-Alkanoates
PHAs are a family of intracellular biopolymers synthesized by
many bacteria as intracellular carbon and energy storage
granules.
PHAs are mainly produced from renewable resources by
fermentation.
A wide variety of prokaryotic organisms accumulate PHA from
30 to 80 % of their cellular dry weight.
Generic chemical structure of the polyhydroxy-alkanoates
14. Polylactides
Polylactic acid or Polylactides (PLA, Poly) is
a biodegradable thermoplastic aliphatic
polyester derived from renewable
resources, such as corn starch (in the
United States and Canada), tapioca roots,
chips or starch (mostly in Asia), or
sugarcane (in the rest of the world)
16. Polycaprolactone
This polymer is often used as an additive
for resins to improve their processing
characteristics and their end use
properties (eg, impact resistance). Being
compatible with a range of other
materials, PCL can be mixed
with starch to lower its cost and increase
biodegradability or it can be added as a
polymeric plasticizer to pvc).
17.
18. Aliphatic Copolyesters
A large number of aliphatic copolyesters
based on petroleum resources are
biodegradable copolymers. They are
obtained by the combination of diols such
as 1,2-ethanediol, 1,3-propanediol or 1,4-
butadenediol, and of dicarboxylic acids
like adipic, sebacic or succinic acid.
21. BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERS
IN THEORY AND PRACTICE
In principle, all polymers that can be oxidised or
hydrolysed should be ultimately biodegradable.
Wood, which is normally considered to be biodegradable,
may be highly resistant to biodegradation in some species
of tree.
22.
23. The ideal behaviour of a degradable polymer used in commercial
applications, whether it be natural or synthetic, is illustrated in Figure
5.2.
First stage : product initially strong and tough
So it can withstand the stresses imposed
Second stage : chemical and physical modification
physically disintegrate after discard under the influence of the
environment
chemically transformed to carboxylic acids, alcohols, aldehydes
and hydroxy acids normally found in nature.
Third stage : the bulk of the polymer should be converted into biomass,
CO, and water by environmental microflora, thus completing the
biological cycle.
24. MAIN TYPE OF POLYMER
Four main types of polymer are currently
accepted as being environmentally
degradable.
photolytic polymers
peroxidisable polymers
photo-biodegradable polymers
hydro-biodegradable polymers
25. photolytic polymers
The first degradable carbon-chain polymer was synthesised by
Brubaker of the Dupont Company as early as 1950.
A copolymer of ethylene and carbon monoxide (E-CO) which
has since been extensively studied by photochemists, notably
by J. E. Guillet and his co-workers at Toronto University.
E-CO polymers fragment very rapid in UV light
primarily by the Norrish type ii process and the rate increases
with the concentration of carbonyl groups.
E-CO polymers are used in packaging where a very rapid rate of
fragmentation is required but rapid mineralisation is not
important
example in ‘six-pack’ collars, which have been reported to
entangle animals and birds when carelessly discarded in the
countryside or in the sea.
26. peroxidisable polymers
Unsaturated carbon-chain polymers are very susceptible to
peroxidation and hence biodegradation.
In unstabilised form it photooxidises and thermooxidises rather too
rapidly to be very useful commercially.
Transition metal prooxidants cause problems during both the
manufacture and use of plastics products.
the polyethers are also very peroxidisable abiotically, abiotic
peroxidation may also play a part in the overall process.
27. Peroxidation is a free radical chain reaction,
shown in summary in reactions 3.1 and 3.2.

P· + 0₂ POO· 3.2
30. Definition
Photo-biodegradation
Degradation of the polymer is
triggered by UV light and assisted by
the presence of UV sensitisers. In this
process the polymer is converted to
low molecular weight material
(waxes) and in a second step
converted to carbon dioxide and
water by bacterial action.
31. Photo-biodegradable plastics
Photodegradable plastics are thermoplastic synthetic polymers.
Incorporated light-sensitive chemical additive or copolymer for
the purposes of weakening the bonds of the polymer in the
presence of ultraviolet radiation.
Photodegradable plastics are design to become weak brittle
when exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods.
Photosensitisers used include diketones, ferrocene derivatives
(aminoalkyferrocene) and carbonyl-containing species.
These plastics degrade in a two-stage process, with UV light
initially breaking some bonds leaving more brittle lower
molecular weight compounds that can further degrade from
physical stress such as wave action or scarification on rocks.

33. AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS OF
ENVIRONMENTALLY
BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERS
The use of plastics mulch results in 50%
saving of irrigation water and as much as
30% saving in nitrogenous fertilisers even
in temperate climates.
These saving may be appreciably higher in
arid climates and in some desert regions,
agriculture can now be carried out
successfully on land which was previously
barren.
34. Biodegradable Mulch Film
Biodegradable Mulch Film is specifically designed in order to
prevent heat from reaching the plant's roots, thus keeping it cool
for faster growth.
With these films, moisture, soil temperature, and microorganism
carries out the decomposition into water, carbon dioxide, and
biomass, thus generating no toxic residues.
Features
Environment friendly
Eliminate weeds
Biodegradable and
compostable
Keep residue in soil
Reflect light heat from
penetrating the soil, thus
keeping roots cool
35. Degradable Mulching Films
Photo-biodegradation is timed to match
the growth of the plants to the level of
the plastic film above them.
This procedure not only avoids the cost of
transplanting but also eliminates the
shock of transplantation and leads to
earlier maturity.
