Abstract

An embodiment relates to: a biodegradable resin composition comprising a first resin containing a polylactic acid-based resin and a second resin containing a polyhydroxyalkanoate-based resin; a biodegradable film or biodegradable molded product comprising same; and a method for preparing same. The biodegradable film can be biaxially stretched and can simultaneously improve flexibility, barrier properties, and noise level, and thus can be applied to various fields such as high-quality, eco-friendly packaging materials.

Claims (18)

1 . A biodegradable resin composition, which comprises a first resin comprising a polylactic acid-based resin; and a second resin comprising a polyhydroxyalkanoate-based resin,

wherein the polyhydroxyalkanoate-based resin comprises a 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3-HH) repeat unit, and

the biodegradable resin composition comprises the second resin in an amount of 10% by weight to 30% by weight based on the total weight of the first resin and the second resin.

2 . The biodegradable resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyhydroxyalkanoate-based resin further comprises at least one repeat unit selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxybutyrate (2-HB), 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-HB), 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP), 3-hydroxyvalerate (3-HV), 3-hydroxyheptanoate (3-HHep), 3-hydroxyoctanoate (3-HO), 3-hydroxynonanoate (3-HN), 3-hydroxydecanoate (3-HD), 3-hydroxydodecanoate (3-HDd), 4-hydroxybutyrate (4-HB), 4-hydroxyvalerate (4-HV), 5-hydroxyvalerate (5-HV), and 6-hydroxyhexanoate (6-HH).

3 . The biodegradable resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the content of the 3-HH repeat unit is 1% by mole to 30% by mole based on the total number of moles of repeat units contained in the polyhydroxyalkanoate-based resin.

4 . The biodegradable resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the second resin comprises a first poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) having a content of the 3-HH repeat unit of 5% by mole to 15% by mole and a second poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) having a content of the 3-HH repeat unit of 1% by mole to 10% by mole at a weight ratio of 1:10 to 1:1.

5 . The biodegradable resin composition of claim 1 , which comprises 70% by weight to 80% by weight of the first resin and 20% by weight to 30% by weight of the second resin based on the total weight of the first resin and the second resin.

6 . A biodegradable film, which comprises the biodegradable resin composition of claim 1 and has a moisture permeability of 100 g/m 2 /day to 500 g/m 2 /day and an air permeability of 100 cc/m 2 /day to 750 cc/m 2 /day.

7 . The biodegradable film of claim 6 , wherein the biodegradable film has a noise level of 85 dB or less as defined below:

the noise level is an average value (dB) measured when the biodegradable film is cut to a size of A4, 210 mm×297 mm and placed 15 cm away from a digital noise analyzer in a box of 650 (W) mm×450 (D) mm×500 (H) mm made of a polycarbonate, and both ends of the film are held with jigs and repeatedly rotated by 180 degrees and twisted back and forth at a speed of 800 rpm to make noise for 30 seconds or more.

8 . The biodegradable film of claim 6 , wherein the biodegradable film has an average Young's modulus of 370 kgf/mm 2 or less.

9 . A process for preparing a biodegradable film, which comprises:

melt-extruding a biodegradable resin composition comprising a first resin comprising a polylactic acid-based resin; and a second resin comprising a polyhydroxyalkanoate-based resin to prepare a sheet;

stretching the melt-extruded sheet to prepare a film; and

heat-setting the stretched film,

wherein the polyhydroxyalkanoate-based resin comprises a 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3-HH) repeat unit, and

the biodegradable resin composition comprises the second resin in an amount of 10% by weight to 30% by weight based on the total weight of the first resin and the second resin.

10 . A biodegradable molded article, which comprises the biodegradable resin composition of claim 1 .
