BioPBS/熱可塑性デンプン複合材料の力学特性および海洋生分解性の評価

抄録

Biodegradable composites have been designed with biopolybutylene succinate (BioPBS) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) to investigate their mechanical properties and biodegradability in natural seawater. The biodegradability of their composites in seawater was verified by measuring the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in our laboratory using natural water collected from the port of Yurihonjo City, Akita, Japan. The results show the composition of BioPBS/TPS composites that exhibit excellent mechanical properties and marine biodegradability.
