Effects of Pine Rosin on the Degradation of Mechanical Performance in Flax-Reinforced Polymeric Composites after Soil Burial at Low Temperatures

Effects of Pine Rosin on the Degradation of Mechanical Performance in Flax-Reinforced Polymeric Composites after Soil Burial at Low Temperatures

The effect of pine rosin (RO) was studied relative to the biodegradation of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), starch-based polymer (Mater-Bi), and PLA-flax composites. It was hypothesized that rosin can alter – either speed up or slow down – biodegradation in plastics depending on the specific species of pol...
