We report herein a wood-like sustainable composites with bio-based and biodegradable components e.g. polybutylene succinate and nanocellulose. Polybutylene succinate, as a biodegradable aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, has potential being completely bio-based and biodegradable. While nanocellulose, as a relatively cheap novel filler material, has great advantage due to its availability from various waste products and sources. The challenges to discover more efficient processes and technologies to utilize nanocellulose in WPC processing and inventing novel composite materials with improved properties are still there. These composites mimic some properties of wood. Appropriate solution and melt blending composite preparation strategies were used to process these materials through adjustment of composition formulation, functionalization of nanocellulose component, compatibilization of polymer and control the properties at the nanoscale in the interface. The above stated ability to control the features in the interface of the biocomponents and evaluation of their influence on the micro and macroscopic properties provides a new aspect to the development of the bio-nanocomposites. Thermal, tensile, viscoelastic, rheological and biodegradation properties of prepared bio-based composites are presented.
