Eco-friendly biodegradable PBAT/PLA mulch films are attracting increasing interest in
sustainable agricultural production. However, currently, little is known about the service life …

The presence and accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in water and wastewater is a
growing concern. When released to the water bodies, microplastics can be subject to …

Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) are commonly used polyolefins in a variety of
applications, which have resulted in their accumulation in the environment. Once in the …

Degradable plastics are gradually regarded as alternatives of conventional, synthetic
organic polymers to reduce the plastics or microplastics (MPs) pollution; however, the …

ABSTRACT Poly (butylene adipate-terephthalate)(PBAT), as one of the most common and
promising biodegradable plastics, has been widely used in agriculture, packaging, and …

Biodegradable plastic films, in which poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) is a
major component, play a significant role in the expansion of the sustainable plastic …

Plastic pollution, a major environmental crisis, has a variety of consequences for various
organisms within aquatic systems. Beyond the direct toxicity, plastic pollution has the …

The barrier performance and mechanical properties of films play important roles in handling
and moisture retention when used in agricultural fields. Herein, poly (butylene adipate …

Understanding the degradation of plastics, some of the most widely used materials on Earth,
is crucial in a broad range of fields from materials design to environmental monitoring. Many …

In this work, we report the effect of an organoclay on the photochemical weathering of
nanocomposites based on a poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT)/poly (lactic …
