2023 article
Aquatic Biodegradation of Poly(beta-Hydroxybutyrate) and Polypropylene Blends with Compatibilizer and the Generation of Micro- and Nano-Plastics on Biodegradation
Kwon, S., Zambrano, M. C. C., Pawlak, J. J. J., Ford, E., & Venditti, R. A. A. (2023, April 3). JOURNAL OF POLYMERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT, Vol. 4.
author keywords: Compatibilizer; Polymer blend fiber; Phase-separation; Miscibility; Biodegradation; Microfiber
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.

Impact of dyes and finishes on the aquatic biodegradability of cotton textile fibers and microfibers released on laundering clothes: Correlations between enzyme adsorption and activity and biodegradation rates
MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN, 165.
author keywords: Biodegradability; Aquatic biodegradation; Cotton; Finishes; Dye; Textiles
MeSH headings : Adsorption; Clothing; Coloring Agents; Cotton Fiber; Laundering; Polyesters; Textiles
TL;DR:
The biodegradability of cotton knitted fabrics with different finishes, silicone softener, durable press, water repellent, and a blue reactive dye was evaluated, indicating the finishes impact the initial adsorption of enzymes excreted by the microorganisms and the initial rates of biodegradation, however despite this the cellulosic material maintains its biodegradeability.

Aerobic biodegradation in freshwater and marine environments of textile microfibers generated in clothes laundering: Effects of cellulose and polyester-based microfibers on the microbiome
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 151, 110826.
Contributors: n, J. Pawlak n , J. Daystar*, M. Ankeny *, C. Goller n & R. Venditti n
author keywords: Biodegradability; Aquatic biodegradation; Cotton; Polyester; Rayon; Bacterial communities
MeSH headings : Biodegradation, Environmental; Cellulose; Clothing; Laundering; Microbiota; Polyesters; Textiles; Water Pollutants / analysis
TL;DR:
The bacterial diversity analyses in the different biodegradation inoculums show that there are distinct bacterial communities related to the assimilation and mineralization of complex carbohydrates that were promoted with the cellulosic MCC, cotton, and rayon samples different than the polyester sample.

Effects of Chemical and Morphological Structure on Biodegradability of Fibers, Fabrics, and Other Polymeric Materials
BIORESOURCES, 15(4), 9786–9833.
author keywords: Biodegradable; Fiber; Chemical structure; Morphology; Fabric; Textile; Cellulose
TL;DR:
To understand the compatibility of biomaterials and the environment, both the disintegration step of the biodegradation process and the assimilation and mineralization of these fragments by microorganisms must be investigated.

Impact of dyes and finishes on the microfibers released on the laundering of cotton knitted fabrics
Environmental Pollution, 272, 115998.
author keywords: Microfibers; Laundering; Fiber fragments; Cotton; Finishes; Dye; textiles
MeSH headings : Coloring Agents; Laundering; Physical Phenomena; Polyesters; Textiles
TL;DR:
The influence of common textile finishes on cotton fabrics on the generation of microfibers during laundering was assessed and microfiber release was determined to be in the range of 9000-14,000 particles per gram of cotton fabric.

Microfibers generated from the laundering of cotton, rayon and polyester based fabrics and their aquatic biodegradation
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 142, 394–407.
author keywords: Microplastics; Microfibers; Laundering; Biodegradation; Textiles; Aquatic environments
MeSH headings : Biodegradation, Environmental; Cellulose / chemistry; Cellulose / metabolism; Cotton Fiber; Laundering; Polyesters / chemistry; Polyesters / metabolism; Textiles; Water / chemistry; Water Pollutants, Chemical / chemistry; Water Pollutants, Chemical / metabolism
TL;DR:
Using well-controlled aquatic biodegradation experiments it was shown that cotton and rayon microfibers are expected to degrade in natural aquatic aerobic environments whereas polyester microf fibers areexpected to persist in the environment for long periods of time.
