Summary

Researchers examined how print orientation and polymer composition affect the durability of 3D-printed biodegradable polyester blends (PBS, PLA, and PHB) in artificial seawater, finding that both factors critically influence water uptake, mechanical strength, and crystallinity, with important implications for designing marine-safe biodegradable materials.
