Madbouly, Samy A.; Schrader, James A.; Srinivasan, Gowrishankar; Liu, Kunwei; McCabe, Kenneth G.; Grewell, David; Graves, William R.; Kessler, Michael (Green Chemistry, 2014)

The extensive use of plastics in agriculture has increased the need for development and implementation of polymer materials that can degrade in soils under natural conditions. The biodegradation behavior in soil of ...
Characterization and biodegradation behavior of bio-based poly(lactic acid) and soy protein blends for sustainable horticultural applications

Yang, Shengzhe; Madbouly, Samy A.; Schrader, James A.; Srinivasan, Gowrishankar; Grewell, David; McCabe, Kenneth G.; Kessler, Michael; Graves, William R. (Green Chemistry, 2015)

Adipic anhydride-plasticized soy protein (SP.A) was blended with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) at two concentrations (50/50 and 33/67) and was evaluated for use as a sustainable replacement for petroleum plastic in horticulture ...
