• Towards Controlled Degradation of Poly(lactic) Acid in Technical Applications (2021, background): “Concerning the influence of the solvent chemistry on the hydrolytic degradation of PLA films, the rate of the process was found to be higher in 50% solutions of ethanol in water than in 95% ethanol or pure water [101].”
