A Study on the Biodegradability of Aliphatic Polyester
Aliphatic polyesters which has flexible chain and ester bond are known likely degraded by hydroliase. From the test of controlled compost device, PBAS, PBS and PBAST showed 44.0%, 23.4% and 32.0% biodegradability respectively, while cellulose showed up to 70.6%. Mechanical property was also measured by UTM and observed decrement with the biodegradation of the materials. Biodegradability varied with the chemical structure of the polymer.
