Crystallization Behavior and Morphology of Hexadecylamine-Modified Layered Zinc Phenylphosphonate and Poly(Butylene Succinate-co-Adipate) Composites with Controllable Biodegradation Rates

Enhanced Photodegradation Stability in Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) Composites Using Organically Modified Layered Zinc Phenylphosphonate

“…PPZn was prepared by a similar approach reported previously [ 25 ]. Typically, 1 g phenylphosphonic acid and 1.88 g zinc nitrate hexahydrate were individually dissolved in 40 and 20 mL, respectively, of deionized water, then mixed together, followed by the addition of 0.1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide to reach pH 5–6.…”

“…UV protection can be achieved by the application of additives that can absorb or reflect photon energy, thus reducing the photodegradation of the polymer matrix in polymer-based composite materials [ 13 ]. Zinc phenylphosphonate (PPZn, Zn(O 3 PC 6 H 5 )···H 2 O), a two-dimensional layered material, has received significant attention due to its ability to improve crystallization, mechanical properties, and biodegradation in various polymers [ 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Since PPZn shows broad UV absorption bands between 300 and 400 nm, we are concerned with their effect on the UV photodegradation of biodegradable polymer/PPZn composites [ 27 ].…”

Chain extender effect of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid/layered double hydroxide in biopolyesters containing the succinate moiety

“…31,32 To increase the performances of PBSA, composites have been prepared with polystyrene/titanium dioxide electrospun fibers, 31 graphene oxide, 32 organo-modified montmorillonite, 33,34 halloysite nanotube, 35 kenaf fibers, 36 hydrolyzed collagen, 37 rutile TiO 2 , 38 and hexadecylamine-modified layered zinc phenylphosphonate. 39 PBSA composites with sorbitol and oleic acid modified LDHs have been reported by Chen et al: the authors discussed about the biodegradation, which was hindered by LDH. 40 On the other hand, literature is quite poor about PPS.…”

Role of Organically-Modified Zn-Ti Layered Double Hydroxides in Poly(Butylene Succinate-Co-Adipate) Composites: Enhanced Material Properties and Photodegradation Protection

“…Nanomaterial additives is one of the effective methods to enhance the mechanical, thermal, and crystallization properties of biodegradable polymers [ 3 , 4 ]. Many studies have been conducted on the effect of nanomaterials on the degradation behavior of biodegradable polymers in the soil, compost, or simulated environments in the laboratory [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. However, the impacts of light, water, and temperature on the degradability of polymers in the natural environment require further investigation.…”

“…The characteristics of Zn-Ti LDH, such as excellent biocompatibility, broadband UV protection, and lower photocatalytic activity, makes it suitable as a UV-protection additive in the PBSA matrix [ 14 , 29 ]. Reviewing past literature regarding PBSA nanocomposites, many studies focus on the addition of nanomaterial and its modification to achieve a better dispersion in the PBSA matrix [ 5 , 17 , 18 ]. Therefore, to improve the dispersion of Zn-Ti LDHs in PBSA, biocompatible and nontoxic stearic acid (SA) was used to modify in this study [ 30 ].…”
