Usage of petrochemical plastic vs. bioplastics: A proposal of sustainable education
Erika Prieto
University of Zulia, Venezuela
ProblemStatement: Worldwide, there have been some advances in obtaining material from organic waste that can be substitutes of
petrochemical plastics. Its importance is because the gas emission from the greenhouse effect is lower in the process of bioplastics
than the petrochemical derivatives. From the Summit of Rio, the Protocol of Kyoto and the Copenhagen Accord, among others,
propose guidelines in the usage of bioplastics to be incorporated in education programs from the first levels.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Based on a documental analysis of international instruments of environmental policy
such as the Copenhagen Accord and the previously mentioned; and scientific documents that leads towards the advantages of the
bioplastics usage. The goal of this work is to propose guidelines for education programs, orientated towards the preference of this
type of materials, being considered as an educational and cultural challenge.
Results: Copenhagen Accord, among others, promote the sustainability of the natural renewable resources and stimulate
commitments of promoting education and sustainable investigation in technologies for developing countries and the mitigation
of greenhouse gases. The scientific documents reveal that the bioplastics degenerate in few weeks, its manufacture implies less
environmental pollution, less energetic consumption and unrenewable raw material, they don’t contain harmful additives for
health, they don’t modify either the smell or the flavor of stiff food; as well as the emission of greenhouse gases in the petrochemical
industries.
Conclusion: Relying on the environmental agreements of international cooperation for the promotion of sustainable education.
Intensifying the investigation of the bioplastics, it makes possible the creation of biodegradable material industries.
Recommendations: Spreading in educational branches the advantages of the usage of bioplastics to promote its preference;
extending the study to university level with the creation of careers, programs and doctorate that form professionals on developing
biodegradable technologies, and specialization programs of sustainable education for teachers and professors in educational levels.

Ionic conduction mechanism study of plasticized carboxy methylcelluose biopolymer electrolytes
M I N Isa and M N Chai
University Malaysia Terengganu, Malaysia
The study of ion conduction mechanism in biopolymer is important for designing better performance of biopolymer
electrolyte for electrochemical devices. A solution castingmethodwas successfully used to fabricate a biopolymer electrolyte
system consisting of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as polymer host, oleic acid (OA) as ionic dopant and glycerol (Gly) as
plasticizer. The CMC-OA-Gly biopolymer electrolytes were characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to
study the ion-conduction mechanism. The optimum room temperature conductivity achieved is 1.64x10-4 S cm-1 for sample
containing 40 wt% Gly. Conductivity mechanism of this biopolymer system fits the small polaron hopping (SPH) model.
