This research aims to study the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of poly (butylene succinate)/graphene oxide (PBS/XGO) nanocomposites. The polymer nanocomposites were successfully prepared by solution processing in conjunction with compression molding at various contents of XGO from 0-1.0 wt%. The structure, tensile properties and thermal stability of materials have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), mechanical test, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results revealed that PBS and XGO could mix with each other homogeneously, and uniform dispersion of XGO in the PBS matrix occurred when the filler content was less than 1.0 wt%. Young′s modulus and degradation temperature (Td) of biopolymer were greatly improved by the addition of a small amount of XGO (1.0 wt%). The nanocomposites have potential application as packing materials.

This study synthesizes a series of aliphatic biodegradable poly (butylene succinate-block-1,3-propylene sebacate) (PBS-b-PPS) copolyesters by incorporation of PPS into the PBS molecular chains at various molar ratios. The effects of these compositions on the thermal properties, crystallinity and biodegradability were investigated.The PBS-b-PPS were characterized using 1H NMR, DSC and POM.Biodegradability was evaluated by enzymatic hydrolysis with a lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia. The copolyesters might be potentially useful as the biodegradable materials.
