Overview

This study demonstrates improved mechanical properties and biodegradability in PBS composites using lignin and sepiolite.

Key Points

  • PBS hybrid composites show a 309% increase in stiffness, indicating robust mechanical properties.
  • Biodegradation tests reveal a 9.0% mass loss after 90 days for the hybrid composite, highlighting its eco-friendliness.
  • The incorporation of sepiolite enhances flexural properties, while lignin improves melt flow characteristics.
  • FTIR spectroscopy confirms effective filler dispersion, providing insights into the material's interactions and performance.
