Abstract
ABSTRACT This article focuses on the use of high-frequency ultrasound in the development of thermoplastic cellulose acetate compositions. Obtained results indicate that ultrasound induced effective interactions between plasticizing components played a crucial role in improving plasticization ability of the cellulose acetate, also increased stiffness, hardness and thermostability of resulting bioplastic materials, and migration temperature of plasticizers. It was also shown that biodegradation of the extruded sample under aerobic conditions in standard aqueous medium was accelerated and occurred most likely due to the plasticizer present in the sample, rather than cellulose acetate, which exhibited slow biodegradation.
