Test items
Plastic degradation tests are mainly performed on plastics using visual observation, mass loss, molecular weight change, mechanical properties, carbon dioxide release / oxygen consumption, plate culture method, etc .; among them, visual observation and evaluation are mainly performed by SEM and atomic force microscope (AFM) Observation of structural changes before and after degradation includes surface roughness, formation of voids and cracks, splitting and breaking, and color changes.
Tensile fracture elongation retention: Tensile fracture elongation, Tensile fracture elongation retention, weight average relative molecular weight decrease rate, and percentage of molecules with relative molecular mass less than 10,000
Light degradation test: natural exposure test, xenon lamp artificial accelerated aging box test
Biodegradation test: soil landfill biodegradation test, specific microorganism culture test, compost landfill biodegradation test
Composting performance test: composting ability (maximum biodegradability), compost quality (organic matter, pH value, total chromium, mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, moisture, particle size)
Ecotoxicity test: habitat function evaluation test, retention function evaluation test, biological and microbial live test and in vitro test, sub-individual, individual, community ecosystem toxicity test
Plastic Stability and Reactivity: Stability Test, Polymer Hazard Test, Incompatibility Test Study, Contact Condition Test Study
Hazardous substance test: heavy metal content, EU REACH and RoHS test
Testing methods for plastic degradability: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), water absorption, contact angle analysis, thermal weight loss (TGA), pyrolysis-mass spectrometer Py-GCMS), X-ray spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD).
