## Abstract An aliphatic/aromatic copolyester, poly(butylene succinateβ__co__βterephthalate) (PBST), was prepared to investigate the effect of the aromatic units on the enzymatic degradation of the poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) derivatives in the presence of a lipase originated from __Pseudomonas

## Abstract Enzymatic hydrolysis of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and poly(butylene succinateβ__co__βLβlactate) (PBSL) has been studied by using a lipase originated from __Pseudomonas__ __cepacia__. It has been found that the drawn fibers of PBSL are readily hydrolyzed by the action of the lipase,
An aliphatic/aromatic polyester blend has been dealt with in this study. As an aliphatic polyester, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) was used, which is thought to possess biodegradability, but it is relatively expensive. It has been blended with poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) in order to obtain a
