Biodegradability of Poly (butylene succinate) under Enzymatic Degradation

Abstract:

To investigate the biodegradability of PBS, films made of PBS were subjected to enzymatic degradation. The declining thermal stability and XRD diagrams showed that the crystallinity of PBS was reduced after degradation. SEM results confirmed that the mode of enzymatic degradation was surface corrosion. In addition, the weight loss of the material did not experience the so-called acclimation period, but showed a typical linear growth process.
