    AnnotationWidespread studies on the biodegradation of plastics have been carried out in order to overcome the environmental problems associated with synthetic plastic waste. From this point of view aliphatic polyesters represent a class of biodegradable materials with potential for various applications. Research interest has been also paid on enhancement of biodegradation of resistant plastics by incorporation of aliphatic ester linkages to aromatic ones or modification of polyolefins with aliphatic polyesters. Polycaprolactone (PCL) as representative of aliphatic polyesters undergoes biodegradation by the action of enzymes and microorganisms and hence it is suitable candidate for biodeterioration and biodegradation study.
