  • Description: A biodegradable composite consisting of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) matrix and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) binder-reinforced silk/bamboo paper was prepared by hot compression molding, in order to make more effective use of waste silk resources. The use of PVA binder enhanced the mechanical properties of both silk/bamboo paper and silk/bamboo/PBS composite for a range of binder contents. These enhanced properties were studied in detail, and results indicated that with increased PVA binder content, the tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation of the hybrid papers increased. PVA binder-improved silk/bamboo paper was better able to reinforce PBS composite compared to paper with zero binder content. The tensile and flexural properties of this green composite were improved remarkably, although impact resistance was degraded to some extent.
