• Comparison of injection moulded, natural fibre-reinforced composites with PP and PLA as matrices (2012, background): “In PLA biodegradation, moisture susceptibility is the primary driving force and involves the following four steps: water absorption, ester cleavage forming oligomers, solubilisation of oligomer fractions, and diffusion of bacteria into soluble oligomers.(31,34) The mass loss of the composites follow”
• Microbial Succinic Acid, Its Polymer Poly(butylene succinate), and Applications (2010, background): “The biodegradation rate of PBS in compost is sensitive to the shape and size of the specimen (Zhao et al. 2005; Yang et al. 2005 ).”
