A series of aliphatic homopolyesters and copolyesters was prepared from 1,4 butanediol and dimethylesters of succinic and adipic acids through a two-step process of transesterification and polycondensation. The synthesized polyesters were characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC). viscosity measurements, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and mechanical property measurements. The homopolymer poly(butylene succinate) exhibited the highest tensile strength, which decreased with increasing adipate unit content, passed through a minimum at copolyester composition close to equimolarity and then increased towards the value of poly(butylene adipate). It is interesting to note that in contrast to tensile strength, the elongation at break increased for adipate unit content of 20-40 mol%. The biodegradation of the polymers was investigated by soil burial and enzymatic hydrolysis using three enzymes. Candida cylindracea lipase, Rhizopus delemar lipase, and Pseudomonas fluorescens Cholesterol esterase. It appears that the key factor affecting material degradation was its crystallinity.
