Renewable Poly(Lactic Acid)Lignocellulose Biocomposites for the Enhancement of the Water Retention Capacity of the Soil.

In contrast, samples with 35% and 60% of the same filler showed a trend of increase, and this was most likely caused by the hydrophilic lignocellulose that absorbed more water, resulting in high water evaporation and faster degradation.
