Spent Artemisia arborescens as a Biowaste Filler for Melt‐Processed PBSA Biocomposites With Enhanced Disintegration and Aerobic Biodegradation

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Spent Artemisia arborescens biomass, recovered after essential‐oil steam distillation, was ground and melt‐compounded with PBSA (10 and 20 wt%), yielding biocomposites with accelerated biodegradation. ABSTRACT Artemisia arborescens is a Mediterranean shrub widely used for essential oil production, generating significant amounts of spent biomass after ...
