Biodegradation Behavior of PLA/PBS Blends

Abstract:

Poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) was mixed with Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) in the melt state. The PLA/PBS blends with different constitution were produced. The samples were buried in laterite. Samples were dug out of soil after the burial for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 days, respectively. The weight loss and molecular weight of the sample were tested. The analysis showed that the nearly exponential decrease in average molecular weight as a function of degradation time. The PLA and PBS have the similar degradation behavior in the soil.
