Abstract
This study evaluates the aerobic biodegradation of modified Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) based biocomposites under composting condition. Samples of neat PLA (NPLA), PLA/chitosan 5% (modified) (PLA/Chitosan), PLA/CNCSO4 (̴1%) (PLA/CNC) and PLA/Gum Arabic 5% (modified) (PLA/Gum) were used for evaluation of biodegradation under simulated composting condition without adding any inoculum to the compost and utilizing the thermophilic microflora already...
