Abstract
Steady and transient nonlinear meltβstate viscoelastic properties of poly[(butylene succinate)βcoβadipate] (PBSA), a biodegradable polyester, are investigated. Experimental data are compared with predictions of a rheological model developed by AitβKadi et al. (J Rheol, 1999, 43, 51β72). The results show that the model predicts very well the steady state shear viscosity and the normal stress difference. A good agreement is observed also for startβup and relaxation shear viscosity. A less satisfactory agreement between model predictions and experimental data is found for the transient normal stress difference. Β© 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract **Summary:** The unique crystallization behavior of a poly[(butylene succinate)β__co__βadipate] (PBSA) nanocomposite is addressed. Nanocomposites have been prepared by melt blending PBSA and organically modified synthetic fluorine mica (OSFM) in a batch mixer. The structure of the nanoc
