摘要

Poly(butylene adipate-

-terephthalate) was efficiently upcycled into performance-enhanced dual covalent adaptable networks via chain breaking-crosslinking strategy while maintaining degradability and processability.

Abstract

Poly(butylene adipate-

-terephthalate) (PBAT)

a widely studied biodegradable material

has not effectively addressed the problem of plastic waste. Taking into consideration the cost-effectiveness

upcycling PBAT should take precedence over direct composting degradation. The present work adopts a chain breaking-crosslinking strategy

upcycling PBAT into dual covalent adaptable networks (CANs). During the chain-breaking stage

the ammonolysis between PBAT and polyethyleneimine (PEI) established the primary crosslinked network. Subsequently

styrene maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA) reacted with the hydroxyl group

culminating in the formation of dual covalent adaptable networks. In contrast to PBAT

the PBAT-dual-CANs exhibited a

notable Young's modulus of 239 MPa

alongside an inherent resistance to creep and solvents. Owing to catalysis from neighboring carboxyl group and excess hydroxyl groups

the PBAT-dual-CANs exhibited fast stress relaxation. Additionally

they could be recycled through extrusion and hot-press reprocessing

while retaining their biodegradability. This straightforward strategy offers a solution for dealing with plastic waste.
