Novel Poly (butylenes succinate-block-1,3-propylene sebacate): Synthesis and Enzymatic Degradation

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study synthesizes a series of aliphatic biodegradable poly (butylene succinate-block-1,3-propylene sebacate) (PBS-b-PPS) copolyesters by incorporation of PPS into the PBS molecular chains at various molar ratios. The effects of these compositions on the thermal properties, crystallinity and biodegradability were investigated.The PBS-b-PPS were characterized using 1H NMR, DSC and POM.Biodegradability was evaluated by enzymatic hydrolysis with a lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia. The copolyesters might be potentially useful as the biodegradable materials.
