Abstract: The widespread distribution of microplastics has spurred urgent demand for biodegradable polymer alternatives. As a biocompatible and biodegradable aliphatic polyester, the development of poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) has been limited by its inherent brittleness. Reactive blending… read more here.

Abstract: In the present work, the biodegradable blends of poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) with in situ compatibilization using 4,4′-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate) (MDI) were prepared. The combined results of FTIR, DSC, SEM, DSC, POM, TGA… read more here.
