Development and study of fully biodegradable composite materials based on poly(butylene succinate) and hemp fibers or hemp shives

Abstract: The use of natural fibers to reinforce polymers is an established practice, and biocomposites have gained an increased interest in areas such as automotive, construction, and agriculture. The purpose of the present work was the preparation and study of fully biodegradable ("green") composite materials using poly(butylene succinate) (PBSu) as polymeric matrix and hemp fibers and shives as fillers. Composites containing 15, 30, 50, 60, and 70 wt% of fillers were prepared by melt mixing in a twin screw extruder. … Show more

“…For example, the initial percentage weight loss of 70 OPMF/PBS biocomposite was found to be 6.50%, and it increased substantially to 12.17 and 28.56% after undergoing the natural soil degradation process for three and five months, respectively. This result was in agreement with the previous report (Terzopoulou et al 2014).…”

“…As the temperature increased, the re-crystallized or more structurally perfect crystal melted and gave rise to the second melting endothermic peak (Zhang et al 2012). A similar observation was reported by Terzopoulou et al (2014) for hemp/PBS biocomposites. During the cooling scan, the DSC thermogram (Fig.…”
