  • Patent number: 7351772
    Abstract: An aliphatic polyester resin composition is provided which is excellent in heat resistance, moldability and hydrolysis resistance. The aliphatic polyester resin composition comprises a biodegradable polyester resin (A) essentially including an ?- and/or ?-hydroxycarboxylic acid unit and crosslinked by at least one crosslinking agent (B) selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylate compounds and polyvalent isocyanate compounds, wherein some or all of carboxyl groups of the resin (A) are blocked by 0.01 to 20 parts by mass of a terminal blocking agent (C) based on 100 parts by mass of the resin (A).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7173080
    Abstract: A biodegradable resin composition and an object molded or formed from the composition. The resin composition comprises: 100 parts by weight of a biodegradable polyester resin comprising not smaller than 50% by weight of polylactic acid having a melting point of not lower than 160° C., the biodegradable polyester resin having a melt flow rate of 0.1 to 50 g/10 min as measured under a load of 21.2 N at 190° C.; and 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of a phyllosilicate containing a primary, secondary or tertiary amine salt, a quaternary ammonium salt or a phosphonium salt ionically bonded between layers thereof.

  • Publication number: 20070027247
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a biodegradable polyester resin composition which is excellent in gas barrier properties, mechanical strength and heat resistance and has Theological characteristics advantageously usable in molding a foamed article, etc., a process for producing the same, and a foamed article and a molded article using the same. The biodegradable polyester resin composition contains 100 parts by mass of a biodegradable polyester resin containing 59% mole or more of a hydroxycarboxylic acid unit, 0.01 to 10 parts by mass of a (meth)acrylic acid ester compound and 0.05 to 20 parts by mass of a layered silicate.
