Abstract: A biodegradable composite including: (a) a polymeric matrix having a biodegradable polymer; (b) a filler; and (c) an anhydride grafted compatibilizer including one or more biodegradable polymers modified with an anhydride group. The composite may also include (d) polymer additives such as polymer chain extenders or plasticizers. An in situ method of manufacturing the biodegradable composite of the present invention, including the steps of: (a) melting one or more biodegradable polymers in the presence of a functional monomer and a free radical initiator to form a mixture; and (b) adding a filler and polymer additives to the mixture thereby manufacturing the biodegradable composite. A method of manufacturing a biodegradable polymer including (a) synthesizing a compatibilizer by (i) mixing a free radical initiator and a functional monomer, (ii) melting one or more biodegradable polymers to form a melt, and (iii) combining the product of step (i) and the melt of step (ii) thereby synthesizing the compatibilizer; and (b) mixing the compatibilizer of step (a), with a matrix of one or more biodegradable polymers and a filler and polymer additives, thereby manufacturing the biodegradable or compostable composite.

Abstract: Composites containing one or more synthetic plastics, such as thermoplastics, one or more natural materials, such as plant/tree fibers, and biochar and/or torrefied material are described herein. The composite can contain additional additives, such as reinforcing agents and/or fibers, compatibilizers, etc. The composites have improved mechanical and/or physical properties, such as strength, impact strength, rigidity/modulus, heat deflection temperature, moldability/melt flow index, renewability, and lower cost compared to composites that do not contain the biochar and/or torrefied material. The presence of the biochar and/or torrefied material also serves to remove the odor often associated with natural fibers and other additives.
