• An overview of the recent developments in polylactide (PLA) research. (2010, background): “PLA degradation has been found to be dependent on a range of factors, such as molecular weight, crystallinity, purity, temperature, pH, presence of terminal carboxyl or hydroxyl groups, water permeability, and additives acting catalytically that may include enzymes, bacteria or inorganic fillers (Pa”
• Biodegradation behavior of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and their blend under soil conditions (2013, background): “The degradation process is related to the molecular weight, degree of crystallinity, purity, stabilizers, whether there is blocking or not, and so on [25].”
