Abstract:As a flexible biodegradable polymer, polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) is used for packing. However, high cost and limited properties restrict its applications. Due to the hydrophobic nature of poly butylene terephthalate (PBAT), low mechanical properties are especially showed when PBAT and the hydrophilic nature of cellulose blend. Here, in order to increase the interfacial adhesion between cellulose and PBAT, the γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy) propytrimethoxysilane (KH560) was used as a reactive compatibili… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
