Abstract
Toward the end of the century, plastic waste treatment and recycling would be major issue to be addressed. Thus, to overcome the problem of polymer non-biodegradability, study and application of biodegradable polymers is important. Biodegradable polymers are those which can be broken down into smaller oligomers or monomers upon action of radiation, moisture, enzymes and chemicals. Poly(butylene) succinate (PBS) is one of the biodegradable polymers manufactured and studied for a long time. This review majorly focuses on its synthesis, blends, copolymers, composites, biodegradation studies, applications and processability. PBS copolymers are synthesized using multiple approaches such as monomer, polymer and application based. PBS blends are studied with PP, poly(propylene carbonate), Soy protein isolate and poly(lactic) acid. The PBS and its blends find its application in agricultural films, packaging, tableware, and biomedical applications. PBS composites were prepared using synthetic organic, inorganic fillers and bio-based fillers to improve its mechanical performance, flame retardancy, biodegradabilit,y etc., based on type of reinforcement. Biodegradability is one the property of PBS which will help in maintaining circular economy and sustainability.
