Crystallization and Enzymatic Degradation of Maleic Acid-Grafted Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/Organically Modified Layered Zinc Phenylphosphonate Nanocomposites

Biodegradable nanocomposites were successfully synthesized using the maleic acid-grafted poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (g-PBAT) and organically modified layered zinc phenylphosphonate (m-PPZn), containing covalent linkages between g-PBAT and m-PPZn. Differential scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to determine the crystallization behavior and morphology of...
