51. The annealing conditions were based on previous work performed in our laboratory (see ref 31 above) and from unpublished results that showed little change in the % crystallinity of PLA polymer films which were annealed at 75°C for time periods between 4 and 36 h.
52. Film aging was carried out, since aged and deaged PLA samples degrade at different rates when exposed to proteinase K. Specifically, deaged PLA samples where there is a densification of the amorphous phase degrade at relatively slower rates than aged samples. See ref 41 above.

54. Proteinase K had 13.8 units/mg of solid and 14.3 units/mg of protein (Biuret) based on values reported by the supplier. One unit will hydrolyze casein to produce color equivalent to 1 μmol (181 μg) of tyrosine/min at pH 7.5 and 37°C (color by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent).

60. Linear regression analyses of film weight loss (to <60%) vs time plots were carried out to determine values of slopes shown in Figures 1-3. Correlation coefficients from these analyses are as follows: PLA-75 (0.98); PLA-75M (1.0); PLA-80 (0.99); PLA-80M (0.93); PLA-82 (0.96); PLA-82M (0.98); PLA-85 (0.97); PLA-85M (0.99); PLA-90 annealed (0.99); PLA-90M annealed (0.99); PLA-90 amorphous (0.96); PLA-90M amorphous (0.98); PLA-91M amorphous (0.99); PLA-92 annealed (0.93); PLA-92M annealed (0.99); PLA-92 amorphous (0.98); PLA-92M amorphous (0.99); PLA-94 annealed (0.94); PLA-94M annealed (0.99); PLA-94 amorphous (0.98); PLA-93M amorphous (0.98); PLA-95 annealed (01.0); PLA-95 amorphous (1.0).
