Article Synopsis
- PBAT is a popular biodegradable plastic due to its good degradability and mechanical properties, but it degrades too quickly for some applications.
- Researchers created three new UV absorbers (UVA-1C, UVA-4C, UVA-6C) that, when combined with PBAT, improve the film's durability against UV aging.
- The best performer, UVA-6C, significantly prolonged the functional period of the PBAT film and even increased maize yield by 7.8%, making it a promising option for agricultural use.
