Synthesis, mechanical properties and enzymatic degradation of biodegradable poly(butylene carbonate-co-terephthalate)/organically modified layered double hydroxide nanocomposites

Two new various compositions of biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic poly(butylene carbonate-co-terephthalate) (PBCT) successfully synthesized through transesterification and polycondensation process were identified using 1H-NMR spectra. A series of PBCT/stearic acid-modified layered double hydroxide (SA-LDH) nanocomposites were fabricated using solution mixing process. The morphology of PBCT/SA-LDH nanocomposites were examined using wide-angle...
