Abstract: A composition includes: at least one aliphatic or semi-aliphatic polyester containing at least 70 mol % of saturated aliphatic units, whereby the units can be obtained by polycondensation of monomers selected from among saturated hydroxyalkanoic acids having formula HO—CxH2x—COOH, saturated dicarboxylic acids having formula HOOC—CxH2x—COOH, and saturated diols having formula HO—CxH2x—OH, wherein x=1-20, preferably 1-6, the rest of the units being formed by aromatic units; and at least one alkyl ester of 1,4:3,6-dianhydro hexitol selected from among alkyl monoesters and alkyl diesters of isosorbide, isomannide and isoidide. A a method for producing one such composition and to the different uses of one such composition are also described.

Abstract: A method for producing an article including a multilayer structure containing:—a first layer based on a metal or on an organic polymer;—and a second layer of an adhesive composition including by weight: a) from 15 to 40% of at least one amylaceous material; b) from 10 to 30% by weight of at least one plasticizer for this amylaceous material; c) from 10 to 35% of at least one nongrafted polypropylene; d) from 10 to 35% of at least one polypropylene grafted with a grafting monomer selected from unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydrides, unsaturated carboxylic acids, oxiranes and silanes; these percentages being defined relative to the sum of a, b, c and d; the first and second layers adhering to one another and the method including a step of bringing the adhesive composition into contact in the molten or softened state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel thermoplastic composition, characterized in that it contains: a) 15% to 60% of at least one starchy material; b) 10% to 30% of at least one starchy material plasticizer; c) 15% to 70% of at least one polyolefin; and d) 10% to 40% of at least one plant material selected among plant fibers and plant fillers. The invention also relates to a thermoplastic composition preparation method that includes the following steps: (i) selecting at least one composition (a) containing at least one starchy material, one plasticizer of said starchy material, and one polyolefin; (ii) selecting at least one plant material (b) selected among plant fibers and plant fillers, said plant material being formed of particles, the dimensions of which are between 0.5 and 5000 micrometers; and (iii) mixing the composition (a) and the plant material (b) so as to obtain the thermoplastic composition according to the invention.
