Abstract:

The natural aging behavior of poly(butylene succinate?butylene terephthalate) (PBST) films in Turpan and Hainan was studied, and their tensile, optical, and thermal properties before and after aging were investigated using a high?speed tensile tester, an enhanced projection haze tester, and a differential scanning calorimeter. The effect of UV absorber UVA on the weather resistance of PBST films were evaluated. The results indicated that the tensile strength and elongation at break of the PBST films gradually decreased with an increase in natural aging time, but the light transmittance seemed not to change significantly. Moreover, the haze of the films gradually increased, and their melting peak temperature shifted to a lower temperature. The UV absorber could significantly improve the weather resistance of PBST at an optimal addition amount of 0.5 wt%.

Key words: poly (butylene succinate?co?butylene terephthalate), mulching film, weather resistance, natural weathering
