Blending poly(butylene succinate) with poly(lactic acid): ductility and phase inversion effects

Synergistic effects of blending two bio-based, bio-degradable polymers, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) are investigated. A series of melt-blended compounds were prepared at PBS/PLA weight ratios of 0/100, 10/90, 20/80, 40/60, 60/40, 80/20 and 100/0. Thermal properties, cr...
