Abstract

This study shows the extent of decomposition of different type of plastics or polymers when used to store hot food or beverages. By using Ostwald’s viscometer, we determine the difference between the viscosity coefficients of different samples stored in polymeric substances to that of distilled water. This difference helps us assess the degree of dissolution of many polymeric materials and likely impact the choices that we make towards the betterment of our health.
