Preparation and Degradation of Seedling Containers Made from Straw and Hydrolyzed Soy Protein Isolate Modified Urea-Formaldehyde Resins

Straw powders were blended with hydrolyzed soy protein isolate (HSPI) modified urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins to produce biodegradable seedling containers. The tensile strength and the degradability of the seedling containers were characterized. Moreover, the degradation behavior of modified UF resin...
