Biodegradable hollow fibres for the controlled release of hormones [PDF]
, 1987 Poly(l-lactide), (PLLA), hollow fibres were prepared using a dry-wet phase inversion spinning process. The effect of several spinning parameters (i.e. bore medium flow rate, spinning dope extrusion rate, fibre take-up rate, and spinning height) on the ...

Fungal degradation of reprocessed PP/PBAT/thermoplastic starch blends
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2020 It is well known that the inadequate disposal of polymeric materials causes significant environmental problems. Recycling and the use of biodegradable polymers are among the methods used to minimize these problems. However, the low mechanical performance
