A new kind of blend material was prepared by the incorporation of lignosulfonate calcium (LS), as the filler, into biodegradable poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), as the polymeric matrix, with the process of melt mixing and subsequent compression molding. The nucleation of LS improved the crystalline properties of the PBS component in the blends. Combined with the rigidity nature of the LS filler, the Young's modulus values of the blends were enhanced. Furthermore, the introduction of LS in this biodegradable polyester slightly increased the hydrophilicity of the blends, shown as higher values of water uptake at equilibrium; this might facilitate the biodegradation of hydrophobic polyesters. Consequently, this study opened one way of enhancing the rigidity and decreasing the cost of biodegradable PBS-based polymeric plastics.

“…A great number of polymer composites of this type have been reported, such as starch/PLA, polycarprolactone (PCL)/polyvinyl alcohol, and thermoplastic starch/polyesteramide (DeKesel et al 1997;Uesaka et al 2000;Ke and Sun 2001;Martin and Averous 2001;Willett and Shogren 2002). These degradable polymers are regarded as promising candidates for composite applications, due to their widely tested degradability and excellent mechanical properties.…”

This chapter mainly reviews the concept, properties and processing, and design method of the eco-friendly polymer nanocomposite (EPN), which is generally biodegradable and renewable. The major attractions of EPN are that they are environmentally friendly, sustainable, and degradable. These polymer composites can be easily composted or disposed without harming the environment. Some efforts have been made on attaining biodegradable reinforcing fillers giving improved performance of composites. Another concern is focused on employing recyclable synthetic fibers with thermoplastic composites to reduce the waste of fillers, and also some research is devoted to reusing or recycling the whole composites for the similar purpose. Simultaneously, people also would like to make composites manufactured with traditional production process become eco-friendly by extra reprocessing. Throughout the stages of development--design, appraisal, manufacture, use, reuse-recycling, and disposal--researchers are supposed to be fully engaged in reducing waste as much as possible, keeping in mind the environment all the time. A series of natural or synthetic materials have been used, such as cellulose, thermoplastic starch, etc. The challenge posed by eco-friendly composites also needs considerable attention in terms of poor bonding between matrix and fillers, loose control of fiber orientation, and difficulty in shaping nanoscale particles.

Cellulose acetate is a semi-ordered polymer, used in various plastic applications. To adjust this biodegradable polymer to fiber application, the polymer is blended through its amorphous matrix with acrylonitrile copolymers to thermally support the polymer. The blending process, assisted with ultrasonic waves, led to the formation of a homogeneous matrix up to 25 % of the copolymers content. A unique glass transition temperature indicates the formation of new macromolecular matrix as a result of each blend sample. The results revealed that the blend samples exhibited higher thermal stability as shown from thermal analysis as compared to cellulose acetate. The mechanical properties were also greatly improved. Thus, blending cellulose acetate with the prepared copolymers enable it to withstand high temperature, which adjust it for fiber applications.
