| Abstract | The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to provide an environmentally sustainable solution to plastic waste in packaging and agriculture. Traditional biodegradable plastics degrade unpredictably or too slowly under real-world conditions, making them impractical for applications with specific shelf-life or disposal requirements. This project addresses that gap by developing compostable multilayer structures with tunable biodegradation pro |
