摘要

Abstract

Polylactide (PLA)

poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-

-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB-

-4HB))

and poly(butylene adipate-

-terephthalate) (PBAT) ternary blends were prepared by extrusion blending. The biodegradable PLA/P(3HB-

-4HB)/PBAT films were successfully obtained by using blown films technique. Excellent stiffness-toughness balance was achieved for 55/10/35 PLA/P(3HB-

-4HB)/PBAT film. The tensile strength reached 33.0 MPa (MD) and 23.5 MPa (TD)

the elongation at break exceeded 130 %

and tear strength exceeded 110 kN/m. The Young′s modulus as low as about 1800 MPa also met packaging applications. SEM observations revealed rough and long ligaments

indicating that the tear specimens were broken yieldingly. The addition of PBAT elastomers was the main reason for the improved toughness of the film. From DMA and SEM analysis

it was demonstrated that PLA

P(3HB-

-4HB)

and PBAT were partially compatible. With increasing P(3HB-

-4HB) content

the melt and cold crystallization of PLA was promoted. The enzymatic degradation experiments indicated that the films had good biodegradability. These findings gave important implications for designing and manufacturing biodegradation package of high biological carbon content.
