RESUMO

Degradation of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was investigated by using a combination of chemical treatment with Fenton’s reagent and biological degradation with the white rot fungus Pycnoporus cinnabarinus. Inclusion of the chemical pretreatment resulted in greater degradation of PVA than the degradation observed when biological degradation alone was used.
