Environmental degradation and durability of bulk 3D-printed parts from biodegradable polyester blends of PBS, PLA, and PHB in seawater
This study examines behavior of 3D-printed biodegradable polyester blends in artificial seawater, revealing that print orientation and polymer composition critically affect water uptake, mechanical strength, and crystallinity.
