Abstract:
Provided are a plasticizer for a resin composition including any one or more selected from a polyvinyl chloride resin, a polyurethane resin, an epoxy resin, a polycarbonate resin or a biodegradable resin, which has excellent mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation and hardness, and shape processability, and particularly has excellent flexibility at low temperatures, does not cause bleeding because compatibility with the resins is good, and has excellent transparency, heat resistance, cold resistance and durability, and a resin composition including the same.
Abstract:
A method of making a biodegradable composite is carried out by: (a) providing an aqueous mixture comprising partially hydrolyzed cellulose in a dissolution media; (b) providing a solution comprising a aliphatic polyester in a polar organic solvent; (c) combining the mixture with the solution to form a precipitate; (d) washing the precipitate with water to remove solvent and dissolution media and form a wet biodegradable composite; and then (e) drying the wet biodegradable composite to form a dry biodegradable composite. Composites made from the method are also described.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a Plasticizer, which is fabricated by mixing monomers of biodegradable polymer with bio-molecules subsequently to deal the mixture with thermal treatment. The Biodegradable material comprising the Plasticizer has high melt index which is contributive for the processing of thermal processing, and the microwave-tolerance and water-resistance of the material makes the material suitable for food packaging.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a degradable material comprising (a) from about 60 weight percent to about 97 weight percent of a first material based on the total weight of the degradable material, and (b) from about 3 weight percent to about 40 weight percent of a second material based on the total weight of the degradable material, where the second material is an oligomer comprising lactate and giycolate. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a degradable material comprising (a) poly lactic acid, and (b) an oligomer comprising lactate and giycolate, wherein the degradable material has a Tg less than 56° C. In still another aspect, the present disclosure provides a degradable material comprising (a) poly lactic acid, and (b) an oligomer comprising lactate and giycolate, wherein the degradable material has a tan delta peak of less than 65° C. It has been surprisingly found that the degradable materials according to the present disclosure provide physical properties that are not inherent to poly lactic acid alone. It has also been surprisingly found that the degradable materials disclosed herein provide improvements with respect to the processability, production costs, flexibility and ductility without decreasing their degradability.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a biodegradable polymer composite material, and more particularly, to a technique for providing a polymer composite material comprising an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin and a biodegradable resin, wherein said polymer composite material has superior impact resistance.
