  • Publication number: 20160326308
    Abstract: Disclosed are a biodegradable polyester resin compound for foaming and a foamed article obtained therefrom. The disclosed biodegradable polyester resin compound for foaming is obtained by melt-kneading a biodegradable polyester resin and a multifunctional chain extender, wherein the biodegradable polyester resin has a melt index (MI) in a range of about 5 g/10 min to about 15 g/10 min as measured according to ASTM D1238 at a temperature of about 190° C. and under a load of about 2.16 kg, and the amount of the multifunctional chain extender is in a range of 0.3 parts by weight to 1.0 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the biodegradable polyester resin.

  • Patent number: 9200128
    Abstract: There are provided a resin composition for foaming including a biodegradable resin and a foamed article made thereof. The resin composition for foaming according to the present invention includes an ethylene-vinyl acetate resin, a biodegradable polyester resin containing a monomer of a double bond compound, a cross-linking agent, a co-crosslinking agent, a filler, and a foaming agent. In the resin composition, the double bond in the biodegradable polyester resin can be chemically cross-linked to the ethylene-vinyl acetate resin by a cross-linking agent, so that a compatibility with the ethylene-vinyl acetate resin can be improved, processability (mold releasability) during a mixing and melting process can be improved, and a foaming property and a mechanical property of a foamed article can be remarkably improved.
