• Lifetime prediction of biodegradable polymers (2017, background): “The molecular weight changes over time from a number of field studies have been collated and show a reasonable fit to a first-order kinetic model, while having very different rate constants, particularly for low temperature compost (at temperatures ranging from 9 to 42oC) versus soil (at ambient tem”
