Photodegradation of biopolymer doped with titanium dioxide (TiO2) as ultraviolet (UV) stabilizer

A large amount of waste cooking oil has become an environmental issue around the world. This oil is renewable and biodegradable than the corresponding products made from petroleum sources. The major concern in this study focuses on the resistance of the biopolymer to ultraviolet (UV) light exposure....
