Preparation and Properties of Composite Films from Poly(Butylene Succinate), Poly(Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate) and Zeolite

Abstract:

Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) was blended with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) in weight ratios of 80/20 and 70/30 wt%. Zeolite4A and zeolite13X of 1, 2, and 3 wt% were added which polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to improve compatibility. The blends and composites were compounded and extruded into thin films. Mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties were studied. Water absorption was also investigated. The results showed that adding PEG enhanced elongation at break of the PBS70/PBAT30 film due to plasticizing effect. Better miscibility between PBS and PBAT was observed after adding PEG. Nevertheless, zeolite particles reduced elongation at break of composite films. The composite films with zeolite13X had higher tensile strength but lower elongation at break than those with zeolite4A. The degree of crystallinity increased significantly in the PBS70/PBAT30 film. The 24-hour water absorption of the blends was higher than that of neat PBS film and was higher with respect to zeolite content.
