Abstract The biodegradation of polymeric biocomposites formed from epoxidized linseed oil and various types of fillers
(pine needles, pine bark, grain mill waste, rapeseed cake) and a control sample without filler was studied during
180 days of exposure to two types of forest soil: deciduous and coniferous. The weight loss, morphological, and
structural changes of polymer composites were noticed after 180 days of the soil burial test. The greatest weight
loss of all tested samples was observed in coniferous forest soil (41.8%–63.2%), while in deciduous forest soil, it
ranged between 37.7% and 42.3%. The most significant changes in the intensities of… More >
