Impacts of Baobab (Adansonia digitata) Powder on the Poly(Butylene Succinate) Polymer Degradability to Form an Eco-Friendly Filler-Based Composite

Poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) is one of the most common biodegradable plastic polymers that has recently been used in green environmental field. Enhancement physicochemical characteristics these by using plant-based materials like Baobab ( Adansonia digitata ) will improve its industrial application. This study evaluated powder (BP) and PBS composites under various ratios (PBS/BP: 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50 wt%) for their thermo-mechanical other properties The nanoscale morphological elemental characterization were also measured scanning electron microscope-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). results revealed PBS/BP blends 90/10 showed a significantly reduced melting temperature (T m up to 94°C p < 0.05) compared (114°C). Also, dynamic viscosity, storage modulus, loss modulus significant decrease with increasing ratio BP composite, which confirmed faster degradation than pure PBS. In conclusion, novel biomaterial recommended use as carbon source denitrification processes, an eco-friendly degradable natural filler-based polymer. Besides, they could be food packaging biomedical industries.
