A Slow-Release Fertilizer of Urea Prepared via Melt Blending with Degradable Poly(lactic acid): Formulation and Release Mechanisms

A Slow-Release Fertilizer of Urea Prepared via Melt Blending with Degradable Poly(lactic acid): Formulation and Release Mechanisms

In this research, a low molecular weight poly(lactic acid) (or PLA) synthesized from direct polycondensation was melt compounded with urea to formulate slow-release fertilizer (SRF). We studied the influence of the molecular weight (<i>M</i><sub>W</sub>) of PLA as a matrix an...
