description Polybutylene succinate (PBS) has garnered significant attention as an environmentally friendly and biodegradable substitute for conventional plastics. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of PBS, encompassing its various applications, properties, significance, and recent advancements in research. The paper commences by addressing the pressing issue of plastic pollution and the urgent need for sustainable materials. It proceeds to delve into the origins and synthesis of PBS, accentuating its distinctive composition comprising succinic acid and 1,4-butanediol. The diverse properties of PBS, such as its biodegradability, mechanical strength, flexibility, heat resistance, and chemical compatibility, are meticulously examined and elucidated. The fundamental importance of this review lies in illuminating PBS as a potential remedy for plastic pollution. By showcasing its applicability in industries spanning packaging, agriculture, textiles, automotive, and medicine, the paper effectively underscores the versatility of PBS. Furthermore, the paper explores recent research advancements in the realm of PBS, focusing on modifications and refinements designed to address its limitations. Strategies such as copolymerization, additive integration, chemical modification, blending with other polymers, and the creation of nanocomposites are investigated as means to enhance PBS properties and broaden its range of applications. In conclusion, this paper furnishes a comprehensive overview of PBS, accentuating its capacity to serve as an eco-friendly substitute for traditional plastics. By comprehending the applications, properties, significance, and recent research progress of PBS, readers gain insights into its role in combatting plastic pollution and fostering a more sustainable future.
