Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9747670A1] The invention provides a graft copolymer made by grafting a monomer containing a functional group to a polyester macromolecule using an addition reaction or a substitution reaction. The invention further provides a biodegradable composition that is made by melt blending the graft copolymer and a natural polymer, such as starch or protein. The invention further includes a method of making the graft copolymer using an addition reaction or a substitution reaction and a method for making the biodegradable composition by melt blending the graft copolymer and a natural polymer at an elevated temperature.
