## Abstract Biodegradability of cellulose fabrics was evaluated by use of a soil burial test, an activated sewage sludge test, and an enzyme hydrolysis. Surface changes after biodegradation were observed by optical microscopy. From Xβray diffraction analysis (XRD), changes in the crystallinities an
Blends of cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) and polyestercarbonate (PEC) in the composition range of 0 -100 wt % in each component were prepared by thermal compounding. The mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties of the polymer blends were studied. Analysis of the DSC curve showed that CAB wa
