Fabrication of Water-Based Alcoholized Poly(butylene succinate-<i>co</i>-adipate) Submicron Particles as Green Coating Agents for Sustainable Paper Packaging.

ABSTRACT: This work aims to fabricate the water-based suspension of poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) particles by an oil-in-water emulsion technique for use as coating agents to enhance paper-based packaging performances and sustainability. A commercial PBSA resin is functionalized by sizing down an approach via microwave-assisted alcoholysis using propylene glycol (PG). The effect of PBSA/PG feed ratio on the structures, properties, and particle formability of the alcoholized (aPBSA) products is examined. ¹H NMR results reveal that the average molecular weight of the aPBSA product decreases to half that of neat PBSA when using a ratio of 24:1 and further decreases to a quarter at 6:1. By using small-size aPBSA, the obtained water-based particles show high stability due t
