Impact of hydrolysis pretreatment on the compostability of biodegradable poly(caprolactone) and poly(lactic acid) films

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Hydrolysis pretreatment accelerated PLA biodegradation by disrupting its amorphous regions, reducing molecular weight, and forming less stable crystalline structures, while its impact on PCL was minimal.
