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.
