Synthesis of Novel Ultraviolet Absorbers and Preparation and Field Application of Anti-Ultraviolet Aging PBAT/UVA Films.

ABSTRACT: Poly-(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) has become one of the most prevalent biodegradable plastic film materials owing to its good degradability, mechanical properties, and processability. However, the degradation time of this material was too fast and the functional period was short, which limited its application. Herein, three new tropolone-based UV absorbers (UVA-1C, UVA-4C and UVA-6C) were rationally designed and blended into PBAT. The PBAT/UVA films that formed were used against UV aging and prolonged the functional period of PBAT film. The three new absorbers were synthesized by bridging two tropolones using three different organic chains with different flexibility. Among them, the UVA-6C showed the strongest UV absorbance at around 238 nm and 320 nm. Consequently, the PBAT/
