Complete bio-degradation of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) via engineered cutinases

Nature Communications, 2023
Bio-degradation of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) is an attractive tactic but requires an effective hydrolytic enzyme. Here, the authors demonstrate that cutinases are highly potent PBAT-decomposing enzymes and their mechanism is proposed based ...

Zinc-Catalysed Depolymerization of Poly(Butylene Succinate) and Poly(Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate) and Enhanced Degradation of Catalyst-Polymer Composite Films. [PDF]

ChemSusChem
Biodegradable polymers are a crucial part of a sustainable future with plastics. The depolymerization of two prominent examples, poly(butylene succinate) and poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate), is reported with a highly active zinc catalyst. This includes rapid depolymerization in neat methanol.

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/Poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) Compatibilized Binary Biobased Blends: Melt Fluidity, Morphological, Thermo-Mechanical and Micromechanical Analysis

Polymers, 2021
In this work poly(lactic) acid (PLA)/poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) biobased binary blends were investigated. PLA/PBSA mixtures with different compositions of PBSA (from 15 up to 40 wt.%) were produced by twin screw-extrusion.
