The use of polymer materials is growing, and therefore amounts of non-degradable waste polluting the environment are growing as well. Nowadays, it becomes truly important to produce individual widely used types of polymer products (packaging, disposable or short-term use products, etc.) using materials which are able to effectively biologically degrade. The doctoral thesis studies the morphology of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and parameters characterising their structure and their correlation with strength and deformation properties of composites and their ability to biologically degrade.The practical goal of the study is to create heterogeneous composites able to biologically degrade using PVA and PVAc water systems, which could then be used for the production of packaging. The Doctoral Thesis has been written in the Latvian language; it contains an introduction, 3chapters, conclusions, a list of references with 249 information sources. It has been illustrated by 131 figures. The volume of the present Doctoral Thesis is 177 pages.
