Title:
BIODEGRADABLE THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER BLEND COMPOSITIONS WITH ACCELERATED BIODEGRADATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1994016020
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Biodegradable thermoplastic polymer blend compositions are presented in which a first polymer and a second polymer are intimately associated together in a uniform, substantially homogeneous blend. The second polymer of the composition acts to facilitate biodegradation of the composition, and of shaped articles manufactured therefrom, at a rate which is enhanced over that of the most slowly biodegrading individual polymer component of the composition. The composition may further comprise a polysaccharide component, such as a starch component like destructurized starch.
