Which polymer can be break down with alcohol?

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer that can be broken down by alcohols, particularly in the presence of catalysts. During this process, the ester bonds in PLA can hydrolyze or undergo transesterification reactions, leading to its degradation. This property makes PLA suitable for applications in compostable materials and environmental sustainability. However, the breakdown efficiency may vary depending on the specific alcohol and conditions used.
