    Abstract The materialization of polybutylene succinate (PBS) belongs to the family of polyesters which are degradable and biodegradable, their biodegradability properties have attracted enormous interest for product development towards different polymer-based applications. Besides its biodegradability, PBS can be derived from petroleum and biobased monomers. At the same time, the latter is the driving factor for its growing interest in bioplastics for fully green and sustainable biobased-derived polymer products. The processes and techniques presented herein, are based on the production of biobased succinic acid monomer to PBS. However, the counterpart biobased monomer 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO) production has not… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract Biobased oligo(butylene succinate)-based thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) were prepared following a twostep polymerization process: condensation of succinic acid and butanediol and the chain extension of resulting hydroxyl-terminated butylene succinate oligomers (OBS) in the presence of butanediol as chain extender and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) as coupling agent. Mechanical and thermal properties of the elaborated TPUs were evaluated in terms of hard segment and compared with those of commercial polybutylene succinate (PBS), Bionolle 1001. Whatever the compositions, the ultimate tensile properties of OBS-based TPUs and Bionolle 1001 were found to exhibit similar values (εr ≈ 400%, σr ≈ 40 More >
