Abstract

Blends of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and a commercial biodegradable material commonly used as an additive, Mater-Bi AF05H, were subjected to thermal treatment followed by an accelerated soil burial test in a culture oven. The effect of the degradation process on the structural and morphological properties of the samples was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The morphological properties studied in this work were the melting temperature, the crystalline content, and the lamellar thickness distribution. The a, relaxation zone of the mechanical spectra was characterized in terms of tan 8 and the a, and 0 relaxations were characterized in terms of E-n according to the Fuoss-Kirk-wood equation and using a deconvolution method. It was found that the thermal treatment rearranges the crystallites in the crystalline phase and promotes a segregation of the crystallite sizes. However, the annealing seems rather to hinder than to improve the degradation of the samples. Moreover, the degradation process in the blends apparently starts in the Mater-Bi.
