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 ...

Tuning Degradation of Polylactic Acid via Size‐Controlled Silica Nanoparticles

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Particle size emerges as a simple handle to program polymer degradation. By tailoring the size of silica nanoparticles, the degradation behavior of polylactide composites can be directed towards accelerated hydrolysis or enhanced composting‐induced disintegration without changing the polymer chemistry.
