Improving the processability of biodegradable polymer by stearate additive
(692–700)Journal of Applied Polymer Science 120 #2 (2011)
Yu et al of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China formed maleated poly(propylene carbonate)/calcium stearate (MAPPC/CaSt2) composite was prepared through melt-extruding poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) with maleic anhydride and CaSt2. The flow instability of biodegradable PPC was greatly alleviated due to the stearate additive. The coordination interaction between MAPPC and calcium ion also contributes to the enhanced thermal stability and high melt stability of composites. (RDC 1/11/2011)
