TL;DR: The study showed that the addition of nanoclay enhanced the biodegradation of PLA nanocomposites under composting conditions, when compared with pure PLA, particularly by shortening the lag phase at the beginning of the process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the interrelation between photooxidation and biodegradation of selected polyesters after artificial weathering.

TL;DR: A biodegradable polymers experiment showed that, despite marked structural changes, the extent of photooxidation was not the decisive factor, which significantly modified the rate of biodegradation in all three materials investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of important abiotic and biotic factors in the biodegradation of poly(l-lactic acid).

TL;DR: The biodegradation of four poly(l-lactic acid) (PLA) samples with molecular weights ranging from approximately 34 to 160kgmol(-1) was investigated under composting conditions, and initial retardation was discernible in parallel with the increasing MW of the polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of a hydrolysis-inhibiting additive on the degradation and biodegradation of PLA and its nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a carbodiimide-based additive, intended to stabilize PLA based materials to avoid hydrolytic degradation during processing, was incorporated into a series of PLA and nanofiller containing PLA films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbodiimide additive to control hydrolytic stability and biodegradability of PLA
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)carbodiimide (BDICDI) additive in various concentration on the extent of hydrolytic stabilization and subsequent degradation kinetics of PLA was studied in the process of abiotic hydrolysis and microbial decomposition under composting conditions.
