Polyurethanes Thermal, Hydrolytic and Soil Degradation: Systematic Literature Review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.5902/2179460X73521Keywords:
Degradation, Hydrolytic, Polyurethane, Soil, ThermalAbstract
A search in the Scopus and Web of Science databases covering the period from 2016 to 2021 was carried out and used to update the methodology of polyurethanes hydrolytic, thermal and soil degradation assessment. To that effect, three groups of search words were used: (1) polymer degradation AND “hydrolytic degradation” AND polyurethane; (2) polymer degradation AND “thermal degradation” AND polyurethane; and (3) polymer degradation AND “soil degradation” AND polyurethane. It was observed that the studies on the degradation of polymers are disseminated in different research groups and on a continuous basis during the survey period. The main methodologies found to perform the degradation of polymers were: method of immersion of samples in aqueous solution to evaluate hydrolytic degradation, thermogravimetric analysis, differential exploratory calorimetry and accelerated weathering to evaluate thermal degradation and inoculation of the polymer in soils with different characteristics, such as pH, moisture and organic load to assess soil degradation. Polymers can become a biodegradable solution to the environmental issues generated by plastic waste.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
