<Summary>Bio-degradation assays were performed for bio-based polymers under environmental conditions with controlled temperature and pH using pH Stat titration. Suspensions of PLA and PBS microparticles, produced by e.g. cryo-milling, were incubated with proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes. Rates of hydrolysis, as determined by counter-titration with a diluted base (NaOH), was recorded for two hours. The thermal profile of PLA hydrolysis by protease was investigated. All measurements were conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. ** For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.931466"! ** The columns headings are abbreviated and mean the following. Min: Duration of the titration in minutes; ml: Volume of added NaOH. Unless otherwise specified, c (NaOH) = 10 mM; pH: pH value of the suspension, set to 8.2; °C: Temperature of the suspension.</Summary>
