“…Similarly, Prema and Uma (2013) reported mesophilic bacteria Bacillus amyloliliquefaciens for the degradation of polylactic acid. Iovino et al (2008) investigated aerobic biodegradation of polylactic acid under a composting environment and checked the effect of the presence of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and short natural fibers (coir). In the initial stage, TPS degrades faster than PLA, and TPS is most susceptible to degradation as compared to PLA.…”

“…The percolation threshold for conductivity occurred at a MWCNT content of 3.8 %·w/w. TPS biocomposites have been formed by blending with PLA and reinforcement with coir cellulose fibres with maleic anhydride as compatabiliser or coupling agent (Lovino, Zullo, Rao, Cassar, Gianfreda, 2008). The composites showed a high degree of biodegradability as determined by carbon dioxide production upon composting.…”

“…Pode-se observar que a taxa de biodegradação, para todas as 34 Nesse período inicial, pode ser observado que o inchamento das amostras ocorreu em ordem crescente de teor de amido na mistura, devido à sua alta hidrofilicidade. Após esse período, com exceção do PBLHM puro, todas as amostras perderam massa durante o tempo da análise.…”
