Editorial summary
VOC emissions from biodegradable polymer composites containing natural flours were compared using thermal extraction, FLEC and a 20-litre chamber across temperature and ageing conditions. The experiments also evaluate a heat-treatment strategy for reducing emissions from PLA- and PBS-based materials.

FLEC use
Direct FLEC measurements
FLEC is one of the experimental methods used by the authors to measure TVOC emissions and evaluate bake-out treatment.
