Biodegradable poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC) composite with a slight improvement in the thermal stability and tensile strength was successfully prepared by incorporating a low content of nano-SiO2. Tensile tests demonstrate the better mechanical properties of the composites prepared in this study. The obtained composites increases sharply from 1.57Mpa to 12.04Mpa by incorporating 5wt% nano-SiO2. Furthermore, the composites show approximately 8°C higher glass transition temperature (Tg) than that of neat PPC.The Tdmax of composite with 5wt% of nano-SiO2 was about 40°C higher than that of neat PPC.

Three types of anhydride (maleic anhydride (MA), phthalic anhydride (PA) and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA)) were melt blended to end-cap poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) by reactive extrusion.
