BIODEGRADABLE RESIN COMPOSITION AND MOLDED ARTICLE PRODUCED FROM THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a resin composition excellent in molding processability which comprises a plant-derived biodegradable plastic produced by actively fixing carbon dioxide present in the earth. A resin composition excellent in molding processability, comprising (A) a biodegradable (3-hydroxyalkanoate) copolymer having a repeated unit represented by the formula (1): [-CHR-CH<SUB>2</SUB>-CO-O-] (wherein R represents an alkyl group represented by the formula C<SUB>n</SUB>H<SUB>2n+1</SUB> and n is an integer of 1 to 15) and (B) 0.1 to 100 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the biodegradable (3-hydroxyalkanoate) copolymer (A), of an acrylic modifier having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 500,000 to 10,000,000.
