Biodegradable composites from poly (butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate) (PBSA) and Taihu Lake (Wuxi, China) blue algae were prepared by melt blending. The property and structure of biocomposites were investigated. By adding extra amount of water to blue algae, the formulated blue algae acted as a plastic in the composites during blending, and exhibited a reinforcing effect on the PBSA matrix. With increasing blue algae content, the thermal stability of the composites decreased; the tensile strength at break and elongation at break of the composites reduced, but the Young's modulus of the composites increased. However, the composite with 30% blue algae loading still exhibited good mechanical performance (tensile strength at break of 21.3 MPa, elongation at break of 180%). The fabrication of value-added PBSA/algae composites appeared as an effective approach to reduce the secondary environmental pollution of Taihu blue algae.

The effect of extrusion treatment on the mechanical, thermal and corrosion resistance of Mg–La–Zn–Zr alloys were presented. It is suggested that the amount of recrystallized grains played a major role in both mechanical properties and thermal properties. It should be noted the as-cast alloy shows the best thermal conductivity reached the value about 137.507 W/(m · K), however, the mechanical performance of magnesium alloys does not reach the expected results. The thermal properties of extruded alloys have slightly decreased and then increased with the increase of extrusion temperature. Then the tensile properties of Mg–La–Zn–Zr were significantly improved after extrusion treatment. Furthermore, with the increase of extrusion temperature, the elongation-to-fracture increased substantially. After extrusion treatment, the corrosion driving force of the alloy decreases, which reduces the corrosion tendency of the magnesium alloy. The alloy presented in this paper is expected to be applied in industry.

Polymeric materials have numerous applications from the industrial to medical fields because of their vast controllable properties. In this study, we aimed to synthesize series of poly(butylene succinate-dilinoleic succinate-ethylene glycol succinate) (PBS-DLS-PEG) copolymers, by two-step polycondensation using a heterogeneous catalyst and a two-step process. PEG of different molecular weights, namely, 1000 g/mol and 6000 g/mol, was used in order to study its effect on the surface and thermal properties. The amount of the PBS hard segment in all copolymers was fixed at 70 wt%, while different ratios between the soft segments (DLS and PEG) were applied. The chemical structure of PBS-DLS-PEG was evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Gel permeation chromatography was used to determine the molecular weight and dispersity index. The results of structural analysis indicate the incorporation of PEG in the macrochain. The physical and thermal properties of the newly synthesized copolymers were also evaluated using water contact angle measurements, differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic thermomechanical analysis. It was found that increasing the amount of PEG of a higher molecular weight increased the surface wettability of the new materials while maintaining their thermal properties. Importantly, the two-step melt polycondensation allowed a direct fabrication of a polymeric filament with a well-controlled diameter directly from the reactor. The obtained results clearly show that the use of two-step polycondensation in the melt allows obtaining novel PBS-DLS-PEG copolymers and creates new opportunities for the controlled processing of these hydrophilic and thermally stable copolymers for 3D printing technology, which is increasingly used in medical techniques.
