Marble surfaces by using biodegradable polymers.

Biodegradable polymers are a special class of polymer that breaks down after its intended purpose by bacterial decomposition process to result in natural byproducts such as gases co 2 n 2 water biomass and inorganic salts. Progress in organic coatings j our nal homepage. The iridescence of marble berries and the clever light bending perforations of microalgae are inspiring scientists to create biodegradable glitter and makeup pigments and bionic algae to use in. Hence by using these types of polymers on the marble surface it may slow down the gypsum formation.
