Abstract
A film is shown and described which contains 10 to 50 wt. % of a component A and 50 to 90 wt. % of a component B, based on the sum of the components A and B, component A being selected from the group consisting of polymers that are obtainable from ring-opening polymerization and have a glass transition temperature (Tg) lower than −30° C. and component B being selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic aliphatic copolyesters and mixtures thereof, and the film having a total thickness of 1 to 200 μm.
Claims37
A single-layer film, wherein the single-layer film comprises:
- 10 to 50 wt. % of a component A and 50 to 90 wt. % of a component B, based on the sum of the components A and B,
- wherein component A is selected from the group consisting of polymers that are obtainable from ring-opening polymerization and have a glass transition temperature (Tg) lower than −30° C.,
- wherein component B is selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic aliphatic copolyesters and mixtures thereof,
- wherein the film has a total thickness of 1 to 200 μm, and
- wherein the film is free of starch,
- wherein
- the component B is selected from the group consisting of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hexanoate), poly(butylene adipate-co-succinate), and mixtures thereof, the poly(butylene adipate-co-succinate) having a number-average molecular weight of 50,000 to 500,000 g/mol;
- and
- wherein
- the film comprises 0.1 to 30 wt. % poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), based on the total weight;
- or
- the film comprises 0.1 to 30 wt. % poly(butylene sebacate-co-terephthalate), based on the total weight.
