Preparation and characterization of PLA/PBAT/CNC blend nanocomposites
In this study, the effect of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) on the properties of polylactide (PLA)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blends was investigated. Samples were prepared via (i) solution casting (SC) and (ii) combination of solution casting and melt mixing through twin-screw extruder (mTSE).

Directed Evolution of an Efficient Polycarbonate Depolymerase With Exceptional Operational Stability
Here, we show that well studied PET hydrolases can be re‐engineered via directed evolution to deconstruct alternative aromatic‐containing commodity polymers. Introduction of only three mutations into LCCICCG was sufficient to generate an efficient polycarbonate hydrolase with high operational stability that can fully depolymerize a polycarbonate sample

Isolation and Degradation Characteristics of PBAT Film Degrading Bacteria
In recent years, PBAT (polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate) mulch has become one of the most commonly used biodegradable mulching films. In this paper, five potential strains of PBAT film degrading bacteria were screened from the soil sample using PBAT film as the sole carbon source.

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTRUDED PBAT/ORGANOCLAY FILMS
Abstract In this paper, we investigate the influence of organoclay identity and content on the tensile properties, gas permeation characteristics and biodegradation of extruded poly(butylene adipate)-co-(butylene terephthalate) (PBAT)/organophilic clay films. Cloisite C10A and C30B organoclays were used as fillers with loading levels of 0, 1 and 3 wt%

Sequential blending improved the mechancial properties of PHB/PBAT/cellulose composites as compared to the one‐step batch mixing method. ABSTRACT Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural and biodegradable polymer generated by bacteria. While its applications to potentially replace petroleum‐based plastics are severely limited due to its brittleness and ...
