Simultaneous plasticization and blending of isolate soy protein with poly[(butylene succinate)‐co‐adipate] by one‐step extrusion process

Abstract

This article focuses on the preparation of isolated soy protein plasticized by a glycerol and water mixture/poly[(butylene succinate)‐co‐adipate] blends by an original single step extrusion process. Prepared blends were injection‐molded and characterized for their molecular interaction, morphology, rheological, thermal, dynamic mechanical, and mechanical properties. The comparison of these results with those obtained using a more regular two‐step compounding process validates the technical efficiency of this cost‐effective one‐step approach. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nanoclay incorporation into soy protein/polyvinyl alcohol blends to enhance the mechanical and barrier properties

“…Of these methods, blending with other polymers with fine mechanical and water resistance properties could be regarded as the most effective and low cost method. When blending with some hydrophobic polymers, such as polylactide , polycaprolactone , poly(butylene succinate)‐co‐adipate , etc. compatibilizers were usually incorporated for the high difference of hydrophilicity.…”

Reactive Compatibilization of Poly(Butylene Succinate)/Soy Protein Isolate Bio-Composites By Peroxide And Diacrylate Via Melt Blending

“…Reddy et al [24] studied the synergistic effect of simultaneous plasticization and denaturation of the reactive blending of thermoplastic SM (TSM) with polycaprolactone (PCL) and PBS, which had yielded biodegradable blends with improved tensile properties and elongation. Renoux et al [25] successfully prepared plasticized isolated soy protein (PISP)/poly [(butylene succinate)-co-adipate] (PBSA) blends via single-step and two-step melt compounding methods, respectively.…”
