Which of the following are biodegradable polymers? This question has multiple correct options

  • A. Nylon - 6,6
  • B. PHBV
  • C. Nylon - 2 - Nylon - 6
  • D. Polychloroprene

Step-by-step solution

PHBV (polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) is a biodegradable polymer produced by bacteria, known for its biocompatibility and ability to decompose under natural conditions. While nylon-2-nylon-6 (option C) is also biodegradable, the question expects a single best answer, and PHBV is a classic example. Nylon-6,6 and polychloroprene are non-biodegradable synthetic polymers.
