PG - 5951-5963 LID - 10.1021/acs.biomac.3c00956 [doi] AB - The excellent combined properties of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) make it a promising biodegradable plastic. However, the lack of functionality and low impact strength limit its application. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was introduced to prepare new high-performance and functional poly(butylene succinate)-b-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PBS-b-PDMS) in this work. The resulting PBS-b-PDMS was found to possess high molecular weight, narrow molecular weight distribution, and excellent combined performance. PBS-b-PDMS had good thermal properties. The decomposition temperature of 5% weight loss (T(5%)) increased from 324 to 344 degrees C, and the temperatures at the maximum weight loss rate (T(max)) values increased from 385.1 to 396.7 degrees C. The impact strength increased significantly from 7.8 kJ/m(2) of PBS to 53.9 kJ/m(2) of PBS-b-PDMS. As the PDMS block endows copolymers with low surface energy and good liquid resistance, PBS-b-PDMS has excellent antismudge, self-cleaning, and solvent resistance. Finally, to minimize the surface energy, PDMS blocks preferentially enrich the surface, which imparts the polymers with self-cleaning properties.
