Abstract
Disulfide bonds have attracted considerable attention due to their reduction responsiveness, but it is crucial and challenging to prepare disulfide-bond-based polyesters by melt polycondensation. Herein, the inherently poor thermal stability of the S-S bond in melting polycondensation was overcome. Moreover, poly(butylene succinate-co-dithiodipropionate) (PBSDi) with a light color and high molecular weights (Mn values up to 84.7 kg/mol) was obtained. These polyesters can be applied via melt processing with Td,5% > 318 °C. PBSDi10-PBSDi40 shows good crystallizability (crystallinity 56-38%) and compact lamellar thickness (2.9-3.2 nm). Compared with commercial poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), the elevated mechanical and barrier performances of PBSDi make them better packaging materials. For the degradation behavior, the disulfide monomer obviously accelerates the enzyme degradation but has a weaker effect on hydrolysis. In 0.1 mol/L or higher concentrations of H2O2 solutions, the oxidation of disulfide bonds to sulfoxide and sulfone groups can be realized. This process results in a stronger nucleophilic attack, as confirmed by the Fukui function and DFT calculations. Additionally, the greater polarity and hydrophilicity of oxidation products, proved by noncovalent interaction analysis, accelerate the hydrolysis of polyesters. Moreover, glutathione-responsive breakage, from polymers to oligomers, is confirmed by an accelerated decline in molecular weight. Our research offers fresh perspectives on the effective synthesis of the disulfide polyester and lays a solid basis for the creation of high-performance biodegradable polyesters that degrade on demand.

Abstract
Two series of newly synthesized sustainable block copolymers based on poly(butylene succinate) (PBSu) and polylactide (PLA) were studied. The copolymers were synthesized by a ring-opening polymerization of PLA in the presence of two initial PBSu of low molar mass. We focused on the effects of the PBSu/PLA ratio (1/99 up to 15/85), chain length and initial PBSu length on the final thermal transitions in the copolymers with an emphasis on molecular mobility/dynamics and subsequently on crystallization. Both aspects are considered relevant to the final materials performance, as well as facilitation of polymer renewability. Calorimetry and dielectric spectroscopy were the main investigation tools. In the amorphous state (i.e., in which the direct effects of copolymer structure are assessable), the segmental mobility of neat PLA was significantly faster in the copolymers. Segmental mobility was monitored via the decrease in the calorimetric and dielectric (α relaxation) glass-transition temperatures, Tg and Tg,diel, respectively. The effect was systematic with an increase in the PBSu/PLA ratio, and was rationalized through the plasticizing role of PBSu (low-Tg component) and facilitated also by the simultaneous lowering of the chain length in the copolymers. Dielectric spectroscopy allowed evaluation of the dynamical fragility (cooperativity) of chains, which was strongly suppressed in the copolymers. This finding suggested an increase in free volume or a gradual increase of interchain distances. This phenomenon could favor the natural enzymatic degradation of the systems (compostability), which is limited in neat PLA. We recorded enhancement of nucleation and the crystalline fraction in the copolymers that was likely connected with faster chain diffusion. Further lowering of the Tg with the implementation of crystallization was noted (which seemed a controversial effect) but which indicated crystallization-induced phase separation.

Abstract
Environmental concerns over waste plastics' effect on the environment are leading to the creation of biodegradable plastics. Biodegradable plastics may serve as a promising approach to manage the issue of environmental accumulation of plastic waste in the ocean and soil. Biodegradable plastics are the type of polymers that can be degraded by microorganisms into small molecules (e.g., H2O, CO2, and CH4). However, there are misconceptions surrounding biodegradable plastics. For example, the term "biodegradable" on product labeling can be misconstrued by the public to imply that the product will degrade under any environmental conditions. Such misleading information leads to consumer encouragement of excessive consumption of certain goods and increased littering of products labeled as "biodegradable". This review not only provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art biodegradable plastics but also clarifies the definitions and various terms associated with biodegradable plastics, including oxo-degradable plastics, enzyme-mediated plastics, and biodegradation agents. Analytical techniques and standard test methods to evaluate the biodegradability of polymeric materials in alignment with international standards are summarized. The review summarizes the properties and industrial applications of previously developed biodegradable plastics and then discusses how biomass-derived monomers can create new types of biodegradable polymers by utilizing their unique chemical properties from oxygen-containing functional groups. The terminology and methodologies covered in the paper provide a perspective on directions for the design of new biodegradable polymers that possess not only advanced performance for practical applications but also environmental benefits.

Abstract
Constructing the spatio-selective crystalline structures has been an effective strategy to diversify the functions and applications of polymers. However, it is still challenging to program the crystalline heterogeneity into commercialized polymers and realize associate functions by a simple yet generalizable method. Herein, we propose a facile approach to fabricate multifunctional materials by programming the spatial distribution of crystal size in semicrystalline polymers. Various crystal size patterns in both plane and depth directions are introduced by the photothermal effect of printed ink and subsequent crystallization at different temperatures, which can be reprogrammed by repeated melting and crystallization. These obtained materials with well-defined crystal size heterogeneities exhibit diverse and regulable optics, mechanical and swelling properties, as manifested in applications including rewritable polymer paper, programmed mechanics, and advanced morphing devices. The light-induced crystal size heterogeneity of polymers has provided insights into developing advanced multifunctional materials.

Abstract
Bio-sourced and biodegradable poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) strands containing up to 40 m% mosquito-repellent N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) were obtained by extrusion, for an initial evaluation of the DEET evaporation characteristics and the possible application of such strands as biodegradable slow-release repellent-delivery devices. For DEET concentrations up to 20 m%, DEET is entrapped in the semicrystalline spherulitic superstructure of PBS. In contrast, at higher DEET concentrations, the liquid repellent, at least partially, is not fully incorporated in the PBS spherulites rather than segregates to form an own macrophase. Quantification of the release of DEET to the environment by thermogravimetric analysis at different temperatures between 60 and 100 °C allowed estimation of the evaporation rate at lower service temperatures, suggesting an extremely low release rate with a time constant of the order of magnitude of 1-2 years at 25 °C, independent of the initial concentration.

Abstract
In this contribution the temperature evolution of the constrained or rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) of biodegradable and biocompatible poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) was quantified, after detailed thermodynamic characterization by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analysis. At the glass transition temperature, around -40 °C, the rigid amorphous fraction in PBS is about 0.25. It decreases with increasing temperature and becomes zero in proximity of 25 °C. Thus, at room temperature and at the human body temperature, all the amorphous fraction is mobile. This information is important for the development of PBS products for various applications, including biomedical applications, since physical properties of the rigid amorphous fraction, for example mechanical and permeability properties, are different from those of the mobile amorphous fraction.

Abstract
Abstract
A series of novel biodegradable copolyesters named poly(butylene 3-methyl adipate co-terephthalate) (PBAmT) were synthesized from the monomers of 3-methyl adipic acid (AAm), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), and terephthalic acid (TPA) through a process of esterification and polycondensation. 1H NMR analysis shows that they are random copolymers whose composition can be well controlled by the feed ratio of monomers. From the results of DSC and XRD, the introduction of methyl group successfully destroys the crystallizability of the PBAm chains, thus making it become a relative soft segment compared to PBA, while these random PBAmT copolymers constructed by soft segment PBAm and rigid segment PBT change from semi-crystalline polymers to nearly amorphous polymers as the feed ratio of Am increases. Especially, mechanical tests reveal that the copolymers show outstanding elasticity and rebound resilience with excellent strength. These thermoplastic copolyester elastomers with good performance by simply introduction of branched methyl group on polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) copolymer chains may well explore the potential application of biodegradable PBAT-based material.

Abstract
Researchers and companies have increasingly been drawn to biodegradable polymers and composites because of their environmental resilience, eco-friendliness, and suitability for a range of applications. For various uses, biodegradable fabrics use biodegradable polymers or natural fibers as reinforcement. Many approaches have been taken to achieve better compatibility for tailored and improved material properties. In this article, PBS (polybutylene succinate) was chosen as the main topic due to its excellent properties and intensive interest among industrial and researchers. PBS is an environmentally safe biopolymer that has some special properties, such as good clarity and processability, a shiny look, and flexibility, but it also has some drawbacks, such as brittleness. PBS-based natural fiber composites are completely biodegradable and have strong physical properties. Several research studies on PBS-based composites have been published, including physical, mechanical, and thermal assessments of the properties and its ability to replace petroleum-based materials, but no systematic analysis of up-to-date research evidence is currently available in the literature. The aim of this analysis is to highlight recent developments in PBS research and production, as well as its natural fiber composites. The current research efforts focus on the synthesis, copolymers and biodegradability for its properties, trends, challenges and prospects in the field of PBS and its composites also reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
AbstractPoly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is used to produce micro-/nanoporous biodegradable scaffolds, suitable for the release of the mosquito repellent N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET), based on thermally induced phase separation. For solvent-rich compositions up to 30 m% PBS, it was found that PBS dissolves in DEET at elevated temperatures. During cooling, spherulitic crystallization of PBS occurs, with the crystallization temperature decreasing with the content of DEET and the cooling rate, as determined by cloud-point measurements, differential scanning calorimetry, and polarized-light optical microscopy. Scaffold morphologies of quenched solutions were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy as a function of the polymer concentration and the quenching temperature. These two parameters control the nucleus density/spherulite size, the degree of intermeshing of spherulites, and the intra- and interspherulitic pore size, with the latter typically being of the order of magnitude of few micrometers.

Abstract
In this study, poly(butylene sebacate-co-terephthalate) (PBSeT) was successfully synthesized using various ratios of sebacic acid (Se) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT). The synthesized PBSeT showed a high molecular weight (Mw, 88,700–154,900 g/mol) and good elastomeric properties. In particular, the PBSeT64 (6:4 sebacic acid/dimethyl terephthalate mole ratio) sample showed an elongation at break value of over 1600%. However, further increasing the DMT content decreased the elongation properties but increased the tensile strength due to the inherent strength of the aromatic unit. The melting point and crystallization temperature were difficult to observe in PBSeT64, indicating that an amorphous copolyester was formed at this mole ratio. Interestingly, wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) curves was shown in the cases of PBSeT46 and PBSeT64, neither the crystal peaks of PBSe nor those of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) are observed, that is, PBSeT64 showed an amorphous form with low crystallinity. The Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum showed C–H peaks at around 2900 cm−1 that reduced as the DMT ratio was increased. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) showed well-resolved peaks split by coupling with the sebacate and DMT moieties. These results highlight that elastomeric PBSeT with high molecular weight could be synthesized by applying DMT monomer and showed promising mechanical properties.

Abstract
![]()
Considering
the current context of research aiming at proposing
new bioplastics with low costs and properties similar to fossil-based
commodities currently on the market, in the present work, a hybrid
blend containing a prevalent amount of cheap inedible cereal flour
(70 wt %) and poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) (30 wt %) has been prepared
by a simple, eco-friendly, and low-cost processing methodology. In
order to improve the interfacial tension and enhance the adhesion
between the different phases at the solid state, with consequent improvement
in microstructure uniformity and in material mechanical and adhesive
performance, the PBS fraction in the blend was replaced with variable
amounts (0–25 wt %) of PBS-based green copolymer, which exerted
the function of a compatibilizer. The copolymer is characterized by
an ad hoc chemical structure, containing six-carbon aliphatic rings,
also present in the flour starch structure. The two synthetic polyesters
obtained through two-stage melt polycondensation have been deeply
characterized from the molecular, thermal, and mechanical points of
view. Copolymerization deeply impacts the polymer final properties,
the crystallizing ability, and stiffness of the PBS homopolymer being
reduced. Also, the prepared ternary blends were deeply investigated
in terms of microstructure, thermal, and mechanical properties. Lastly,
both pure blend components and ternary blends were subjected to disintegration
experiments under composting conditions. The results obtained proved
how effective was the compatibilizer action of the copolymer, as evidenced
by the investigation conducted on morphology and mechanical properties.
Specifically, the mixtures with 15 and 20 wt % Co appeared to be characterized
by the best mechanical performance, showing a progressive increase
of deformation while preserving good values of elastic modulus and
stress. The disintegration rate in compost was found to be higher
for the lower amount of copolymer in the ternary blend. However, after
90 days of incubation, the blend richest in copolymer content lost
62% of weight.

Abstract
Biomedical applications of polymers require precise control of the solid-state structure, which is of particular interest for biodegradable copolymers. In this work, we evaluated the influence of crystallization conditions on the comonomer exclusion/inclusion balance of biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-ran-butylene adipate) (PBSA) isodimorphic random copolymers. Regardless of the crystallization conditions, the copolymers retain their isodimorphic character, displaying a pseudo-eutectic behavior with crystallization in the entire composition range. This illustrates the thermodynamic nature of the isodimorphic behavior for PBSA random copolymers. However, depending on the composition, the crystallization conditions affect the exclusion/inclusion balance of the comonomers. Fast cooling favors butylene adipate (BA) inclusion inside the poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) crystals, whereas isothermal crystallization strongly limits it. PBA-rich compositions behave differently. Both fast and slow crystallization formed the β-phase, whereas BS unit inclusion is favored independently of the cooling conditions. During successive self-nucleation and annealing, the BA inclusion is intermediate between non-isothermal and isothermal conditions, while the crystalline structure of the PBA phase changes from the β-phase to the more stable α-phase. We propose a simple crystallographic model to explain the changes in the unit cell dimension of the copolymers.

Abstract
The exploitation of beidellite clay (BDT), used as a nanofiller in the preparation of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/organoclay biodegradable nanocomposites, was investigated. A series of bionanocomposites with various loadings of the organoclay (3CTA-BDT) were prepared by in situ polycondensation reaction between succinic anhydride (SuAh) and 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD) at atmospheric pressure in refluxing decalin with azeotropic removal of water, and the reaction was catalyzed by non-toxic bismuth chloride (BiCl3). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that 3CTA-BDT was likely exfoliated and well dispersed in PBS matrix. Thermal properties (TGA, DSC and thermal conductivity), contact angle measurements and water vapor sorption behavior of the corresponding nanocomposites were also discussed. Compared to pure PBS, a significant reduction of the diffusion coefficient and the water vapor permeability (WVP) by 44 and 37%, respectively, was observed by adding only 5 wt% of 3CTA-BDT. These results could make these bionanocomposites suitable materials for food packaging application. The exploitation of beidellite clay (BDT), used as a nanofiller in the preparation of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/organoclay biodegradable nanocomposites, was investigated. Their thermal and water vapor barrier properties were also studied.![]()

Abstract
The manuscript details the preparation and characterization of binary blends of polyamide 11 (PA 11) and poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), with PA 11 as the major component. The blends are fully bio-based, since both components are produced from renewable resources. In addition, PBS is also biodegradable and compostable, contrarily to PA 11. In the analyzed composition range (up to 40 m% PBS), the two polymers are not miscible, and the blends display two separate glass transitions. The PA 11/PBS blends exhibit a droplet-matrix morphology, with uniform dispersion within the matrix, and some interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the dispersed droplets. Infrared spectroscopy indicates the possible interaction between the hydrogens of the amide groups of PA 11 chains and the carbonyl groups of PBS, which provides the compatibilization of the components. The analyzed blends show mechanical properties that are comparable to neat PA 11, with the benefit of reduced material costs attained by addition of biodegradable PBS.

Abstract
In the present study, new aledronate (AL) loaded microspheres were prepared with the use of polycaprolactone (PCL)/Vitamin E d-ɑ-tocopheryl poly(ethylene glycol) 1000 succinate (TPGS) copolymers. Specifically, PCL-TPGS copolymers, prepared at several PCL to TPGS ratios (namely, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30 and 60/40 w/w) via a ring opening polymerization process, were characterized by intrinsic viscosity, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and enzymatic hydrolysis. Results showed that as TPGS content increases the intrinsic viscosity of the copolymer (and hence, the viscosity-average molecular weight) is decreasing, while FTIR analysis showed the formation of hydrogen bonds between the —C

]]>O of PCL and the —OH of TPGS. Additionally, XRD analysis indicated that the prepared copolymers were semi-crystalline in nature, while enzymatic hydrolysis studies showed that increasing TGPS content led to increasing copolymer hydrolysis. In the following step, AL drug-loaded microspheres were prepared via single emulsification process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the formation of coarse drug-loaded microspheres with particle size close to 5 μm, while XRD analysis showed that the API was amorphously dispersed only in the cases of high TPGS content. Furthermore, FTIR analysis showed that the API did not interact with the copolymer components, while in vitro drug release studies showed that increasing PCL content led to decreasing API release rate. Finally, analysis of the drug release profiles suggested that the API release mechanism was solely governed by the polymer matrix erosion.

Study on the Thermal Properties and Enzymatic Degradability of Chiral Polyamide-Imides Films Based on Amino Acids. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2019.

Abstract
Six kinds of chiral polyamide-imides (PAI3a–3f) have successfully been synthesized via direct polycondensation. The thermal properties of the materials were evaluated by the gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A thermal test was conducted and showed that the polymers have good thermal stability. The Tg values were affected by the volume effect of the side groups, the internal plasticizing effect and the isolation effect. Polyamide-imides (PAIs) with L configuration showed higher Tg values than PAIs with D configuration. In the enzymatic degradation experiments of PAI films, the results showed that the structure of amino acids have the greatest influence on the degradation performance of PAIs relative to chirality. The PAI films with simple side groups and L configurations were easier to degrade. The degradation rate of natural chiral PAIs were higher than those of non-natural chiral PAIs. This makes it possible to develop polymer materials with specific degradation rates.

Abstract
Novel super toughened bioplastics are developed through controlled reactive extrusion processing, using a very low content of modifier, truly a new discovery in the biodegradable plastics area. The super toughened polylactide (PLA) blend showing a notched impact strength of ∼1000 J/m with hinge break behavior is achieved at a designed blending ratio of PLA, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), using less than 0.5 phr peroxide modifier. The impact strength of the resulting blend is approximately 10 times that of the blend with the same composition without a modifier and ∼3000% more than that of pure PLA. Interfacial compatibilization among the three biodegradable plastics took place during the melt extrusion process in the presence of a controlled amount of initiator, which is confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and rheology analysis. The synergistic effect of strong interfacial adhesion among the three blending components, the decreased particle size of the most toughened component, PBAT, to ∼200 nm, and its uniform distribution in the blend morphology result in the super tough biobased material. One of the key fundamental findings through the in situ rheology study depicts that the radical reaction initiated by peroxide occurs mainly between PBS and PBAT and not with PLA. Thus, the cross-linking degree can be controlled by adjusting renewable sourced PLA contents in the ternary blend during reactive extrusion processing. The newly engineered super toughened PLA with high stiffness and high melt elasticity modulus could reasonably serve as a promising alternative to traditional petroleum plastics, where high biobased content and biodegradability are required in diverse sustainable packaging uses.

Abstract
Structuring blends on sub-micrometer scales, especially nano-scales, has a higher potential for improving their thermomechanical properties. Here, we propose a design strategy to fabricate compatible nano-blends by manipulating the reactions between two biodegradable polymers, e.g. polybutylene succinate (PBS) and polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), with extremely low free radical contents through reactive extrusion processing. Observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), it is found that PBAT is tightly surrounded by large amounts of PBS–PBAT co-polymers and dispersed in a PBS matrix with a particle size of less than 100 nm. We show how impact strength and polymer moduli can be improved simultaneously by decreasing the small amount of dispersed phase into nano-scale (droplet or lamina structures). With 5 wt% PBAT content in the PBS–PBAT blend, the notched impact strength of PBS is increased 1200% and the Young's modulus is increased 15%. Through in situ rheological monitoring and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies, the reason why nano-blends can be formed in such a low amount of peroxide is illustrated. Our investigation most significantly indicates the transformation of the partially compatible PBS–PBAT micro-blend into a fully compatible PBS–PBAT through nano-structuring. This work addresses the importance of reaction rate and mechanism in favoring the formation of co-polymers rather than homo-polymer crosslinking or self-decomposition in polymer blend modification via reactive extrusion design. From micro to nano, super-tough PBS with high impact strength is fabricated.![]()

A Facile Fabrication of High Toughness Poly(lactic Acid) via Reactive Extrusion with Poly(butylene Succinate) and Ethylene-Methyl Acrylate-Glycidyl Methacrylate. Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:E1401.

Abstract
As is an excellent bio-based polymer material, poly(lactic acid) (PLA)'s brittle nature greatly restricts its extensive applications. Herein, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) was introduced to toughening PLA by melt blending using a self-made triple screw extruder through in situ reactive with ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (EGMA). The effect of EGMA concentrations on the mechanical properties, morphology, interfacial compatibility of PLA/PBS blends were studied. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) results demonstrated that the epoxy group of EGMA reacts with the hydroxyl groups of PLA and PBS, which proved the occurrence of interfacial reactions among the tri-component. The significantly improved compatibility between PLA and PBS after EGMA incorporation was made evident by scanning electron microscope (SEM) characterization results. Meanwhile, the contact angle test predicted that the EGMA was selectively localized at the interface between PLA and PBS, and the result was verified by morphological analysis of cryofracture and etched samples. The EGMA improves the compatibility of PLA/PBS blends, and consequently leads to a significantly increased toughness with the elongation at break occurring 83 times more when 10 wt % EGMA was introduced than neat PLA, while impact strength also enhanced by twentyfold. Ultimately, the toughening mechanism of PLA based polymers was established based on the above analysis, exploring a new way for the extensive application for degradable material.

Abstract
The present study evaluates the preparation of risperidone controlled release microspheres as appropriate long-acting injectable formulations based on a series of novel biodegradable and biocompatible poly(lactic acid)⁻poly(propylene adipate) (PLA/PPAd) polymer blends. Initially, PPAd was synthesized using a two-stage melt polycondensation method (esterification and polycondensation) and characterized by 1H-NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. DSC and XRD results for PLA/PPAd blends (prepared by the solvent evaporation method) showed that these are immiscible, while enzymatic hydrolysis studies performed at 37 °C showed increased mass loss for PPAd compared to PLA. Risperidone-polyester microparticles prepared by the oil⁻water emulsification/solvent evaporation method showed smooth spherical surface with particle sizes from 1 to 15 μm. DSC, XRD, and Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR) analyses showed that the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) was dispersed in the amorphous phase within the polymer matrices, whereas in vitro drug release studies showed risperidone controlled release rates in all PLA/PPAd blend formulations. Finally, statistical moment analysis showed that polyester hydrolysis had a major impact on API release kinetics, while in PLA/PPAd blends with high PLA content, drug release was mainly controlled by diffusion.
