Mechanical Properties and Thermal Behavior of TPS/PBS Blends with Maleated PBS as a Compatibilizer

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermoplastic starch/poly (butylene succinate),an entirely biodegradable polymer blend was prepared using a two-step extrusion process. The mechanical properties and thermal behavior of TPS/PBS blends were investigated. The results demonstrated that the strength and elongation at break of TPS/PBS blends were greatly improved with the addition of rPBS in PBS blends due to its contribution in the improvement of interfacial compatibilizing and miscibility.
