Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

At present, with an increase in the human population, the amount of plastic consumption has multiplied, and with it, pollution levels are alarmingly increasing day by day. Plastic can be labelled a disaster as it threatens the whole world. Since this is a big problem for our environment, there may be a call to find a change for traditional plastics. Therefore, bioplastics are the perfect option as they can be synthesized from various active biodegradable wastes. Bioplastics are formed from various renewable biomasses, including starch, biopolymers, cellulose, and aggregates of various compounds. These plastics can be easily synthesized and can be easily degraded compared to conventional plastics. So, the synthesis of it becomes a crucial challenge.
