  • Publication number: 20130214441
    Abstract: The present invention provides aqueous stable suspensions of biodegradable diblock copolyesters and a method for their production. The diblock copolyesters comprise one block of an aliphatic polyester and one block of a polyethylene oxide. Suspensions according to the present invention are suitable to be used as biodegradable viscosity modifiers, compatibilizers in blends, as glues, varnishes, paper additives, flame retardants, impact modifiers and hazers of transparent plastics, and for the production of biodegradable sheets, films, fibers, plates, vessels, tubes and capillaries for transport or packaging purposes. Furthermore, the suspensions according to the present invention are suitable to be used for the production of nano- and microfibers and nano- and microfiber nonwovens with non-oriented or oriented fibers by means of electrospinning.
