Abstract
A biodegradable laminate includes: an aliphatic polyester-based resin layer; a bonding layer; and a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin layer laminated on at least one surface of the aliphatic polyester-based resin layer with the bonding layer therebetween. The aliphatic polyester-based resin layer includes an aliphatic polyester-based resin composition containing an aliphatic polyester-based resin (A) including a repeating unit derived from an aliphatic diol and a repeating unit derived from an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid as main constituent units, a polyhydroxyalkanoate (B) including a 3-hydroxybutyrate unit as a main constituent unit, and an inorganic filler (C).
Claims21
A biodegradable laminate, comprising:
- an aliphatic polyester-based resin layer;
- a bonding layer;
- and
- a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin layer laminated on at least one surface of the aliphatic polyester-based resin layer with the bonding layer therebetween,
- wherein the aliphatic polyester-based resin layer comprises an aliphatic polyester-based resin composition comprising:
- (A) an aliphatic polyester-based resin comprising, in polymerized form, (A1) succinate, (A2) 1,4-butanediol, and optionally (A3) a further aliphatic dicarboxylate, with a molar ratio of the succinate unit to all dicarboxylate units in the aliphatic polyester-based resin (A) being in a range from 68 to 100%;
- (B) a polyhydroxyalkanoate comprising, in polymerized form, (B1) a 3-hydroxybutyrate in at least 85 mol. %, and and (B2) 3-hydroxyhexanoate;
- optionally, (Q) an additional resin other than the aliphatic polyester-based resin (A) and the polyhydroxyalkanoate (B);
- and
- (C) an inorganic filler,
- wherein a mass ratio of the total amount of the aliphatic polyester-based resin (A), the polyhydroxyalkanoate (B), the filler (C), and the additional resin (Q) relative to the aliphatic polyester-based resin layer is in a range of from 60 to 100% by mass,
- wherein an [(A)+(B)]/[(A)+(B)+(Q)] mass ratio, of a sum of the aliphatic polyester-based resin (A) and the polyhydroxyalkanoate (B) to a sum of the aliphatic polyester-based resin (A), the polyhydroxyalkanoate (B), and the additional resin (Q), is in a range of from 70 to 100% by mass,
- wherein a (C)/[(A)+(B)+(C)] ratio, of the inorganic filler (C) relative to a total amount of the aliphatic polyester-based resin (A), the polyhydroxyalkanoate (B), and the inorganic filler (C) in the aliphatic polyester-based resin composition, is in a range from 15 to 50% by mass, and
- wherein an (A)/(B) mass ratio, of the aliphatic polyester-based resin (A) to the polyhydroxyalkanoate (B) comprised in the aliphatic polyester-based resin composition, is in a range of from 70/30 to 20/80.
