In the work an eco-friendly non-woven fiber made of polylactide and natural rubber with a rubber content from 0 to 15 wt.% was obtained by electrospinning. The influence of distilled water and UV irradiation on the agrofibers has been investigated. The water sorption test showed that the addition of natural rubber into the polylactide matrix does not significantly affect the degree of water absorption of the fibrous materials, which is in the range of 49-50.6%. Thermal characteristics after 180 days of degradation in distilled water at 22±2 oC and UV irradiation at a wavelength of 365 nm during 100 hours were determined using the differential scanning calorimetry. Changes in the values for glass transition and melting temperatures, and the degree of crystallinity were determined.
