© 2016 Elsevier Ltd Effect of silver-loaded kaolinite (AgKT) on real ageing, hydrolytic degradation inclusive of biodegradation of blown films of partially compatibilized poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) blend was investigated. Neat PLA showed the highest degradation e...
