Degradation and Recycling of Films Based on Biodegradable Polymers: A Short Review.
TL;DR: The results and data collected show that poly-lactic acid (PLA), poly-butylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) and poly-caprolactone (PCL) are the most used biodegradable polymers, but are prone to hydrolytic degradation during processing.

3D Printing of PLA/clay Nanocomposites: Influence of Printing Temperature on Printed Samples Properties.
TL;DR: For 3D printed samples, when increasing printing temperature, a different behavior was observed for the two PLA grades and their nanocomposites, but for PLA 4032D+C30B, elastic modulus increased at increasing printingTemperature, while for PLA 2003D+ c30B slightly decreased, such different behavior can be explained.
