The biodegradability of PLA has been exploited in many applications, such as sandbags, weed prevention nets, vegetation nets, vegetation pots, ropes, binding tape, and so on. Important properties for these applications are that structural integrity is maintained while in use and that it decomposes... [Pg.462]

PLA Poly(lactic acid) commercial sample from Mitsui Chemicals Composting (ISO 14855-1, ISO 14855-2, enzymatic degradation) CO2 evolution measurement based on titration and gravimetric methods Biodegradation of PLA powder was 91% for 31 days (ISO 14855-1 method) and 80% for 50 days at 58°C (ISO 14855-2 method) Cellulose powder was used as reference material PLA in the form of powders of different size was used [17]... [Pg.134]

The term biodegradation indicates the predominance of biological activity in this phenomenon. Several studies about biodegradation of PLA show that the abiotic degradation precedes microbial assimilation [2,3]. Consequently, in nature, biotic and abiotic factors act syneigistically to decompose PLA (Fig. 8.1). [Pg.274]

Understanding the biodegradability and biodegradation of PLA is crucial for the plastic industry in order to meet the current strict environmental regulations. Furthermore, PLA and its copolymers have been used for medical applications for decades, and so evaluation and control of its biodegradation in the living body... [Pg.247]

Further investigation of PLA biodegradation using the cumulative measurement respirometric (CMR) system (according to ASTM D5338 and ISO 14855-1) showed that the biodegradation of PLA bottles required >30 days buried in a compost pile to achieve 80% mineralization. CMR is a system designed to yield... [Pg.269]
