Abstract
The present disclosure concerns containments that are biodegradable. In some aspects, the containments include a biopolymer layer that includes one or more polymeric compounds and a coating layer. In some aspects the biopolymer layer includes PLA and PHA. In some aspects the coating layer includes at least one of polycaprolactone (PCL), alkyl ketene dimer (AKD), poly(vinyl) alcohol (PVA), citric acid, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), beeswax, carnauba wax, and montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay.
