• Hydrolysis and Biodegradation of Poly(lactic acid) (2017, background): “An increase in polymer crystallinity should generally decrease polymer degradation rates, as extensively reported for PLA matrices under alkaline hydrolytic degradation conditions [69].”
• Abiotic and biotic environmental degradation of the bioplastic polymer poly(lactic acid): A review (2017, background): “Therefore, with time, the proportion of the crystaline regions within the PLA increases and the rate of degradation decreases [25,53,54].”
• Biodegradability and biodegradation of poly(lactide) (2006, background): “Several reports showed that the crystalline part of the PLA was more resistant to degradation than the amorphous part, and that the rate of degradation decreases with an increase in crystallinity (McDonald et al. 1996; Cai et al. 1996; Iwata and Doi 1998; Tsuji and Miyauchi 2001).”
