High-Performance Biodegradable PBAT/PPC Composite Film Through Reactive Compatibilizer
We successfully synthesize a reactive compatibilizer C-PPC with side double bond via terpolymerization of CO
2
/PO/GMA to improve the compatibility between PBAT and PPC. The water vapor and oxygen barrier properties of PBAT/PPC blends were improved by 51.9% and 33.5% respectively. Moreover
the mechanical properties have also been greatly improved.
Abstract
Poly(butylene adipate-
co
-terephthalate) (PBAT) is currently the largest commercial biodegradable plastics with good toughness and film forming properties
whereas
the inferior barrier and mechanical properties hinder its applications. Biodegradable poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) with excellent barrier properties and high strength is a natural choice to address above issue. However
it is challenging to improve the compatibility of these two polymers. Herein
we prepared a reactive compatibilizer with double bond side group through terpolymerization of CO
2
/propylene oxide/glycidyl methacrylate to enhance the properties of PBAT/PPC blends. Upon addition of 1 wt% compatibilizer
the PBAT/PPC blends (75/25

compared to the control sample. Moreover
the tensile strength and elongation at break increased from 24.7 MPa to 30.3 MPa and from 858% to 1142%
respectively. The PBAT/PPC composite also displayed excellent biodegradability under composting conditions
as confirmed by the significantly decreased molecular weight. The present work provides an efficient way to barrier biodegradable film from PBAT of practical utilization.
