Flame Retardance and Antistatic Polybutylene Succinate/Polybutylene Adipate-Co-Terephthalate/Magnesium Composite. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel)
Antistatic and anti-flame biodegradable polymer composites were developed by melt-blending polybutylene succinate (PBS) with epoxy resin, polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT), and MgO particles. The composite films were prepared using a two-roll mill and an extrusion-blown film machine.
