• Thermal degradation of poly(lactic acid) measured by thermogravimetry coupled to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (2009, result): “The increase of E value with conversion means that the observed kinetics can only be interpreted in terms of multi-step degradation mechanisms [31], which is consistent with the reports in the references [11, 12, 17].”
• Kinetic Thermal Degradation of Cellulose, Polybutylene Succinate and a Green Composite: Comparative Study (2015, methodology): “Thermal degradation of PCL was recently studied [44, 45, 46].”
• Hydrolysis and Biodegradation of Poly(lactic acid) (2017, background): “It is strongly influenced by the presence of impurities (mainly residual metals, which can catalyze the depolymerization of PLA to form lactide) [32].”
