abstract = "In this paper, the biodegradability of three SferiCorn™
biocomposites was investigated. Corn stover prepared through eco-friendly
washing and grinding to short fibers was used as reinforcement. Three different
biopolymers, corn starch, alginate and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-
hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), were used as matrices. The biodegradability of
prepared composites was investigated in a simulated soil burial test and the
samples were characterized in terms of weight loss and morphological changes. It
was shown that biodegradability can be tuned by biopolymers used as matrices.
Changes in the surface morphology after biodegradation of tested samples were
confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).",
