“…Biodegradability of different grades of the commercial aliphatic polyester, Bionolle™, has been studied in activated sludge, soils, and compost (Nishioka et al 1994). Grade 1000 is a poly(butylene succinate), grade 3000 is a poly(butylene succinate-co adipate), grade 6000 is a poly(ethylene succinate), and grade 7000 is poly(ethylene succinate-coadipate).…”

“…The biodegradability of Bionolle polymers depends upon their structures and also the environment in which they are placed. Biodegradability of different grades of Bionolle buried in activated sludges, soils and compost has been studied 127) . As per the findings, Bionolle #3 000 showed the best biodegradability in soils and a compost, while Bionolle #6 000 showed best biodegradability in activated sludges 119) .…”

“…Among the commercially available biodegradable plastics, poly (butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) is a promising thermoplastic aliphatic polyester with many interesting properties: excellent processability in extrusion, thermoforming, film blowing and injection molding, biodegradability in different environments (industrial/home composting and soil), and good mechanical performance similar to that of polyolefins [1][2][3][4][5][6]. PBSA is a random co-polyester synthetized by the reaction of 1,4-butanediol with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as succinic and adipic acids, and it is commercially available in different grades (molecular weights from 10,000 to 100,000 g/mol) for various applications [1][2][3].…”

In this study, blends of a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester, poly (butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) with two different raw hydrolyzed collagens (HCs), derived from the tannery industry, were investigated in terms of processability, rheological, thermal and mechanical properties. HCs, obtained by alkaline (HCa) and enzymatic (HCe) hydrolysis of the solid wastes generated during the shaving of the tanned leather, were used in PBSA/HC blends, up to 20 wt% of HC, produced by melting extrusion and processed by injection molding. All the blends up to 20 wt% HCs resulted suitable for the injection molding obtaining flexible molded specimens with good tensile properties. The different secondary structure of the two HCs influenced the rheology, morphology and mechanical properties of the produced blends. In particular, HCa, due its higher content of oligopeptides and free amino-acids, showed a good compatibility with the polymeric matrix acting as a plasticizer with consequent reduction of melt viscosity with increasing its loading. The molded dog-bones specimens containing 20 wt% HCa showed a value of elongation at break of 810%. While, HCe, due its higher presence of b-sheet structures, behaved as organic filler, showing a poor interfacial interaction with PBSA with consequent decrease of the tensile properties with increasing its loading. The good processability and satisfactory mechanical properties obtained encourage the use of both investigated collagen hydrolysates in the production of thermoplastic blends and relative molded products for applications in agriculture and plant nurseries, such as pots or small containers with fertilizing properties, due the presence of HCs.
