C—Journal of Carbon Research 2023 Best Paper Award

The LSRE-LCM research group proudly announces that the C—Journal of Carbon Research 2023 Best Paper Award was granted to the review article entitled “Towards controlled degradation of poly(lactic) acid in technical applications” authored by Stefanie Teixeira, Katarzyna Morawa Eblagon (corresponding author), Filipa Miranda, M. Fernando R. Pereira and José Luis Figueiredo. The research team meticulously explored and analysed the controlled degradation and biodegradation of poly(lactic) acid (PLA) in technical applications, including the main mechanisms of PLA degradation, such as its biodegradation in water, soil and compost, in addition to thermal degradation and photodegradation. The Best Paper Award recognizes the outstanding contribution of this review article to advancing knowledge and promoting further exploration of sustainable materials. 

Congratulations to the team!
