Promising agrofibers based on biodegradable polymers

Abstract

Nonwoven fibrous materials from biodegradable polymers: polylactide and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate were obtained. Water vapor sorption by nonwoven fiber samples was investigated. It was determined that the substrate of non-woven material does not have a negative impact on the growth and development of cress plants. It is shown that the studied fiber samples are actively subjected to destruction in the soil, on the sample of PLA-PHB composition is decomposed faster than pure PLA.
