A novel evaluation method for biodegradability of poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate) by pyrolysis-gas chromatography
Abstract
Biodegradation behavior of poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate) (PBSA) film samples during the soil burial degradation test was studied by pyrolysis-gas chromatography (Py-GC). In the pyrograms of the PBSA film sample residues, various ester compounds containing succinate and/or adipate units were observed as the main pyrolysis products along with some minor pyrolyzates such as fatty-acid esters comprising propionates and valerates …
