• Review of recent advances in the biodegradability of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) bioplastics and their composites (2020, unknown): “In PHBV, the introduction of 3-hydroxyvalerate has a greater amorphous region, which is more susceptible to enzymatic attack, 53,164 due to eased water penetration, 94 absorption, 165 and susceptibility of the isodimorphic crystal region to the enzyme catalytic domain.”
• Biodegradable and compostable alternatives to conventional plastics (2009, unknown): “B (2009) poly(vinyl alcohol) are produced by synthesis from monomers derived from petrochemical refining, which possess certain degrees of inherent biodegradability (Clarival & Halleux 2005 in Smith 2005).”
• Review on the current status of polymer degradation: a microbial approach (2017, background): “P. aeruginosa, P. stutzeri and Sphingomonas sp. are involved in polyethylene glycol mineralization and symbiotically by Rhizobium sp. and Sphingomonas terrae (Smith 2005).”
• Polyolefins with controlled environmental degradability (2006, background): “In this case the ‘‘inversion’’ process from stabiliser to ‘‘activator’’ is facilitated by light and this system has been used for many years in agricultural mulching films [8,9,34,35] and in photo-biodegradable polypropylene twines.”
• Biodegradable protein‐based films from plant resources: A review (2010, background): “The raw materials, originating from agricultural resources, are classified into three groups [3, 4]: (a) extracted directly from agricultural raw materials (e.”
• Biodegradable compatibilized polymer blends for packaging applications: A literature review (2018, background): “PHAs are mainly used for shopping bags, disposable items (razors, utensils, cups, compostable bags, and packaging), food and cosmetic containers, thermoformed articles, medical surgical garments, and medical implants.(21,26,27) The preparation, properties, applications, and their future REVIEW WILEY”
• Effect of Biodegradable Mulch Materials on Weed Control in Processing Tomatoes (2010, background): “…behave similarly to photodegradable materials, i.e., the buried part does not suffer degradation and needs to be exposed to light and air because the degradation of oxo-biodegradable plastics is a result of oxidative and cellmediated phenomena, either simultaneously or successively (Scott 2005).”
