Biodegradation properties of natural fibers for agro textile nonwovens production

Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate biodegradation properties PLA (as a bio-based polymer), Hemp, Jute natural bast fibers) and Viscose cellulose regenerates) for agrotextile nonwovens production. For the purpose those investigations, an analysis time samples were performed by soil burial test (ISO 11721 – Textiles Determination resistance cellulose-containing textiles microorganisms Soil ) conducted under controlled conditions in laboratory real weather conditions. exposed 4, 7, 9 11 days. An mass loss changes their mechanical properties, compared unexposed samples, determined.
