Strong, tough and aqua-degradable poly(glycolic acid)/poly (butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) composites achieved by interfacial regulation by Chao Ma, Mintao Zhu, Min Gong, Liang Zhang, Dongrui Wang, Xiang Lin

“…Specifically, the increased grafting density of molecular chains revealed from the blend melt viscoelasticity was proposed to be responsible for the greatly enhanced toughness, resulting in an elongation at break of ∼90.45% and a toughness of 49.65 MJ/m3 which were dozens of times higher than PGA itself. Such blend is well capable of incorporating of CFs, showing an ultimate tensile strength ∼135 MPa whereas remaining ductility and aqua-degradability. …”
