| Description: |
This study evaluates the physicochemical, mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of PolyButylene Succinate (PBS)-based bioplastics reinforced with degradable additives for food packaging applications. Water uptake tests revealed increased hydrolytic degradation at higher temperatures, particularly in ethanol-based simulants (from D = 0.0422∙108 cm2/s at 4 °C to 3.3491∙108 cm2/s at 40 °C). Migration tests confirmed compliance with EU regulations in acetic acid but some limitations to its suitability for alcoholic solutions, due to the overcome of overall migration limits (10 mg/dm2). Specific migration of metal species was below EU limits, especially Co ( |
