Polylactic acid (polylactide) is by far the most widely researched and used biodegradable aliphatic polyester. Due to its properties, polylactide is one of the leading biomaterials in medicine, as well as in industry and agriculture. The work presents a variety of additives to the polylactide matrix to improve its properties. It has been established that polylactide is a highly crystalline polymer with water being the first factor of influence when incubated in soil for 28 days.
