Aquatic Biodegradation of Poly(beta-Hydroxybutyrate) and Polypropylene Blends with Compatibilizer and the Generation of Micro- and Nano-Plastics on Biodegradation
Aquatic Biodegradation of Poly(β-Hydroxybutyrate) and Polypropylene Blends with Compatibilizer and the Generation of Micro- and Nano-Plastics on Biodegradation. Journal of Polymers and the Environment, 31(8), 3619–3631.

topics (OpenAlex): biodegradable polymer synthesis and properties; Microplastics and Plastic Pollution; Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing Technologies
TL;DR:
The result suggests that even though increased miscibility can improve mechanical performance, it can decrease the biodegradation of biodegradable Poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) polymer in non-biodesgradable/biodegradables polymer blends.
