Abstract

Provided is a resin composition excellent in processability and productivity, which improves low crystallization rate and improves processability in forming such as injection molding or sheet forming. Provided is a polyester resin composition including a polyester resin (A), a crystallization promoter (B), and pentaerythritol (C).

Claims (27)

1. A polyester resin composition, comprising:

a polyester resin (A) comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate), and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate);

a crystallization promoter (B) comprising a glycerin diacetomonoester; and

a crystal nucleating agent comprising pentaerythritol (C),

wherein a molar ratio of 3-hydroxybutyrate to a comonomer in the polyester resin (A) is from 97/3 to 80/20,

the crystallization promoter (B) is included in an amount of 4 to 20 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the polyester resin (A), and

the pentaerythritol (C) is included in an amount of 0.5 to 8 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the polyester resin (A).

2. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the glycerin diacetomonoester comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of glycerin diacetomonolaurate, glycerin diacetomonooleate, glycerin diacetomonostearate, glycerin diacetomonocaprylate, and glycerin diacetomonodecanoate.

3. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester resin (A) further comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylenesuccinate, polybutylenesuccinate, and polybutylenesuccinate/adipate.

4. A polyester resin formed article obtained by forming the polyester resin composition according to claim 1 .

5. The polyester resin composition according to claim 2 , wherein the polyester resin (A) further comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylenesuccinate, polybutylenesuccinate, and polybutylenesuccinate/adipate.

6. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the crystallization promoter (B) is glycerin diacetomonolaurate.

7. The polyester resin composition according to claim 3 , wherein the crystallization promoter (B) is glycerin diacetomonolaurate.

8. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the pentaerythritol (C) is included in an amount of 1 to 5 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the polyester resin (A).

9. The polyester resin composition according to claim 2 , wherein the pentaerythritol (C) is included in an amount of 1 to 5 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the polyester resin (A).

10. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the molar ratio of 3-hydroxybutyrate to a comonomer in the polyester resin (A) is from 95/5 to 85/15.

11. The polyester resin composition according to claim 2 , wherein the molar ratio of 3-hydroxybutyrate to a comonomer in the polyester resin (A) is from 95/5 to 85/15.

12. A polyester resin formed article obtained by forming the polyester resin composition according to claim 2 .

13. A polyester resin formed article obtained by forming the polyester resin composition according to claim 3 .

14. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester resin (A) comprises poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate).

15. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester resin (A) comprises poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate).

16. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester resin (A) comprises poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate).

17. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester resin (A) comprises poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate).

18. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester resin (A) comprises at least one of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate).

19. The polyester resin composition according to claim 2 , wherein the polyester resin (A) comprises at least one of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate).

20. The polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an additive selected from the group consisting of a lubricant, a crystal nucleating agent other than pentaerythritol, a plasticizer, a hydrolysis inhibitor, an anti-oxidant, a releasing agent, an ultraviolet absorber, a colorant, an inorganic filler, and a combination thereof.
