AB  - Biodegradation tests of chitosan (CH), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) 
      and high density polyethylene (HDPE) polymers were carried out using the standard 
      OECD 301D guidelines. The results showed that the CH samples biodegraded faster 
      than those of PBAT. Photographs registered exhibited the complete or partial 
      disintegration of the samples, and a more opaque color was observed with the 
      increase of biodegradation. FTIR analysis showed some changes in the intensity of 
      the typical bands of the HDPE sample. The presence of P. nitroreducens bacteria 
      was revealed on the PBAT sample surface by SEM studies. Additionally, a clear 
      increase in elastic modulus (EM) and tensile strength (TS) values were observed 
      in PBAT and HDPE samples on day 3, which decreased significantly at the end of 
      the study. Furthermore, an increase in the crystallinity of the HDPE sample was 
      observed on day 28.
