Abstract<br />

Recently, due to the environmental problems caused by synthetic<br />

non-degradable plastic waste, biodegradable polymers have received<br />

extensive attention as the potential candidate to replace the non-<br />

degradable counterparts. One of the promising synthetic aliphatic<br />

polyesters is poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), which has a high melting<br />

temperature (115 o C), good biodegradability by microorganism, and<br />

outstanding processability. However, it is known that its tensile<br />

properties, gas barrier properties and melt viscosity for further<br />

processing are not quite desirable in some end-use applications.<br />

In the polymer nanocomposite foam, the nanoscale filler distributed<br />

in the polymer matrix may act as the nucleation site during the foaming<br />

process, inducing smaller cell size and increased cell density. In<br />

addition, the presence of well-dispersed fillers can improve mechanical<br />

and physical properties, and the heat distortion temperature of polymer<br />

foams. The cell morphology, which depends strongly on the interaction<br />

with the filler, is expected to affect such characteristic properties as<br />

weight, specific strength, heat conductivity and isolation to sound.<br />

The purpose of this study is to develop the biodegradable polymer<br />

nanocomposite foam having high blowing ratio and closed-cell<br />
