Monitoring Plastic Biodegradation With LabVIEW and NI CompactDAQ - Solutions - National Instruments

Over the past century, plastics have infiltrated all aspects of human life. From the plastic shrink wrapping that protects food from bacteria and fungus, to the Styrofoam cup that keeps coffee hot and soft drinks cold, to the life-saving medical equipment found in hospitals and doctor’s offices, plastic is everywhere.
