| description | Large productions of plastics worldwide are greater concern to the environment because of their non degradability and thus, damaging the ecosystem. Recent advancements in biobased plastics are growing exponentially because of their promise of a sustainable environment. Biobased polycoumarates plastics have a wood-like appearance with liquid crystalline grains, light brown color, and cinnamon-like aroma, but have very low toughness. The polycoumarates were hybridized via main-chain transesterification with poly (butylene succinate) (PBS). PBS itself being a biobased material has added more value to the final product due to biodegradability. The mechanical flexibility and toughness of the bio-based copolymers were controlled by varying the PBS content. As a result, well-processable and in-soil degradable artificial woods with a high strain energy density of approximately 76 MJ/m3 were developed while maintaining the wood-like appearance. |
