Electrospun Non-Woven Fabrics of Poly(ϵ-caprolactone) and Their Biodegradation by Pure Cultures of Soil Filamentous Fungi

The biodegradation of electrospun nano‐fibers of poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) was firstly investigated, using pure‐cultured soil filamentous fungi. In the biochemical oxygen demand test, the biodegradation of the nano‐fiber exceeded 20‐30% carbon dioxide generation. The biodegradabilities decrease with incr...

Zusammenfassung:The biodegradation of electrospun nano‐fibers of poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) was firstly investigated, using pure‐cultured soil filamentous fungi. In the biochemical oxygen demand test, the biodegradation of the nano‐fiber exceeded 20‐30% carbon dioxide generation. The biodegradabilities decrease with increase of the mean fiber diameter.
