Plastics based on a petroleum products were once regarded as essential materials due to its extensive applications and the convenience in its usage. In addition, it has replaced the conventional materials such as metal, ceramic with its advantages of light weight and good processability. However, the environmental impacts caused by the petroleum products and their disposals were neglected. To mitigate environmental pollution, biodegradable polymers which can be degraded into surrounding area with no pollution are the interests of much research. Despite these properties, the commercial applications of biodegradable polymers have been limited to a few industries owing to the inferior mechanical properties. In this study, we fabricated the biodegradable nanocomposites of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and proposed a dual control strategy for mechanical and hydrolytic degradation properties on the basis of rheology. |
