Biodegradable polymers that can be degraded to water and carbon dioxide without toxic matters have been attracted as a solution for environmental problems caused by petroleum polymers that cannot be degraded in soil and water conditions. Biodegradability is largely affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, pH, the presence of microorganisms and is also affected by polymer structures such as crystallinity, hydrophobicity. From this point of view, polymer processes such as melting and solution processes have the greatest influence on changes in the physicochemical properties of the polymer. In this study, the biodegradation behavior of poly(butylene succinate) was investigated according to various polymer processes. By applying a melting and solution process, various types of PBS materials such as films, nanofibers, and macrofibers were prepared. Finally, the effect of the properties of PBS on the biodegradation behavior in the compost was investigated. |
