Blending poly(butylene succinate) with poly(lactic acid): Ductility and phase inversion effects
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Synergistic effects of blending two bio-based, bio-degradable polymers, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) are investigated. A series of melt-blended compounds were prepared at PBS/PLA weight ratios of 0/100, 10/90, 20/80, 40/60, 60/40, 80/20 and 100/0. Thermal properties, crystallinity, melt viscosities, mechanical properties and phase morphology were studied. There was found to be a dramatic improvement in ductility, over 250% elongation-to-break, with as little as 10 wt% of PBS added. This was shown to be due to a co-continuous phase morphology, which was determined by the relative viscosities of the components.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
