Disclosure of Invention

Detailed Description
Thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural Material
The thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural materials of the present embodiment is characterized by comprising starch, a biodegradable resin and a viscosity modifier, and by being free of plasticizers. By adjusting the starch and the viscosity modifier to specific contents and not containing a plasticizer, the obtained resin composition has good moldability, can be biodegradable, and can inhibit adhesion of the surface of a molded article.
In the present disclosure, "thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural materials" is sometimes referred to as "resin composition", starch "is also referred to as" starch (a) ", biodegradable resin is also referred to as" biodegradable resin (B) ", viscosity modifier is also referred to as" viscosity modifier (C) ", and plasticizer is also referred to as" plasticizer (D) ".
The degradation step of the resin composition is roughly divided into two parts.
The first stage is to lower the molecular weight of a resin constituting an agricultural material (pot for raising seedlings, agricultural mulch film, etc.) as a molded article of the resin composition by hydrolysis or oxidative degradation.
In turn, the second stage is the monolithic degradation of agricultural materials comprising low molecular weight resins by microorganisms in the soil.
Since the low molecular weight of the resin is also performed during the period of preserving or using agricultural materials, the hydrolysis control in the first stage becomes important. As a factor of hydrolysis, crystallinity of the resin is exemplified. Since the amorphous region is more easily hydrolyzed than the crystalline region, the hydrolysis can be suppressed by improving the crystallinity.
In general, when an additive or the like is added to a thermoplastic resin composition, the particles become crystal nuclei, and the formation of crystals (nucleation effect) can be promoted, so that the crystallinity is improved, and a hydrolysis-suppressing effect can be obtained.
Since the thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural materials according to the present embodiment contains the starch (a) that promotes biodegradability and the viscosity regulator (C) that increases melt tension in specific amounts, the biodegradation rate of the agricultural materials containing the resin composition can be regulated. For example, it is desirable that the agricultural materials are inhibited from degrading and maintaining their shape at least during the cultivation of the seedlings, that is, for about four months, and that the agricultural materials are degraded by microorganisms in the soil to be able to penetrate the soil after about one year exceeding the cultivation period of the seedlings.
The present embodiment will be described in detail below.
(Starch (A))
Starch (a) is a substance that promotes the action (biodegradability) of various microorganisms present in soil or water. The starch (a) is not particularly limited, and commonly available starches can be used. Examples include: corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, sweet potato starch, tapioca starch, etc. Among them, when cornstarch having a uniform particle diameter of about 20 μm is used, it is preferable to homogenize the thickness of the agricultural material comprising the resin composition (to reduce the surface irregularities) and to suppress the occurrence of thin portions, as a result of which breakage of the agricultural material can be suppressed. These may be used singly or in combination of two or more.
The starch (a) is a component capable of adjusting the biodegradation rate, and the content thereof is preferably 5 to 60 parts by mass, or 10 to 50 parts by mass, 10 to 40 parts by mass, or 10 to 30 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the resin composition. If the content of the starch (a) is 5 parts by mass or more, biodegradation can be promoted, and if it is 60 parts by mass or less, the content of the biodegradable resin (B) can be ensured, thereby ensuring moldability.
In addition, the average particle diameter of the starch (A) is preferably 5 μm to 50. Mu.m, and may be 10 μm to 50. Mu.m, from the viewpoint of moldability. When the average particle diameter of the starch (a) is within the above range, the dispersibility of the starch (a) in the biodegradable resin (B) can be made compatible with the smoothness of the surface of the molded article.
In particular, in the blow molding in which the resin is directly placed in a mold and air is supplied, the average particle diameter of the starch (a) in the resin composition is preferably in the above range in order to contribute to the moldability.
The average particle diameter of the starch (a) can be obtained, for example, by observing the particles of the starch (a) with a scanning electron microscope, randomly observing 100 particles, measuring the distance between the farthest two points of the outer shape of each particle based on the length of the micrometer mark on the screen, and averaging.
(Biodegradable resin (B))
The biodegradable resin (B) is a substance that is degraded by the action of various microorganisms present in soil or water. The biodegradable resin (B) is not particularly limited, and a generally available biodegradable resin can be used. Examples thereof include polycaprolactone, aliphatic polyester resins, aliphatic aromatic polyester resins, and the like. These biodegradable resins may be used singly or in combination of two or more.
Among these, aliphatic polyester resins or aliphatic aromatic polyester resins are preferable from the viewpoints of biodegradability and moldability.
In the case of using an aliphatic polyester resin and an aliphatic aromatic polyester resin in combination as the biodegradable resin, the content of the aliphatic polyester resin is preferably not less than the content of the aliphatic aromatic polyester resin. By mixing an aliphatic polyester resin as a base resin and an aliphatic aromatic polyester resin having ductility and formability, the formability of the resin composition and the strength of agricultural materials as a formed product thereof can be ensured. The content ratio (parts by mass) of the aliphatic polyester resin and the aliphatic aromatic polyester resin is preferably, for example, 1 to 4:1, more preferably 1 to 3:1, and more preferably 1 to 2:1, particularly preferably 1 to 1.65:1, more preferably 1 to 1.57:1, may be 1.5 to 2:1.
Examples of the aliphatic polyester resin include aliphatic polyesters obtained by polycondensation reaction of aliphatic diols and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, and polylactic acids obtained by polycondensation of lactic acid. Examples of the aliphatic diol include: ethylene glycol, 1, 3-propanediol, 1, 4-butanediol, 1, 5-pentanediol, 1, 6-hexanediol, 1, 4-cyclohexanediol, 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol. These may be used alone or as a mixture of these. Among them, 1, 4-butanediol is preferably used. Examples of the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid include: oxalic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid (glutaric acid), adipic acid, sebacic acid, suberic acid, dodecanedioic acid, derivatives of these, i.e. anhydrides, can also be used. Among them, succinic acid or succinic anhydride, or a mixture of these with adipic acid is preferable.
Specifically, there may be mentioned: polybutylene succinate (Polybutylene succinate, PBS) obtained from 1,4 butanediol and succinic acid (for example, "BioPBS" (trade name) manufactured by mitsubishi chemical company (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, MCC) biochemistry (Biochem)), polybutylene succinate adipate (Polybutylene Succinate Adipate, PBSA) obtained by copolymerizing adipic acid on PBS, and the like.
Examples of the aliphatic aromatic polyester resin include a copolymer containing an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid unit, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid unit, and a chain aliphatic and/or alicyclic diol unit. The diol component providing the diol unit is a component having a carbon number of usually 2 to 10, and examples thereof include: ethylene glycol, 1, 3-propanediol, 1, 4-butanediol, 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and the like. Among them, a diol having 2 to 4 carbon atoms is preferable, ethylene glycol and 1, 4-butanediol are more preferable, and 1, 4-butanediol is still more preferable. The dicarboxylic acid component providing the dicarboxylic acid unit is a component having usually 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and examples thereof include succinic acid, adipic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, dodecanedioic acid, and the like. Among them, succinic acid or adipic acid is preferable. Examples of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid component providing the aromatic dicarboxylic acid unit include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and naphthalene dicarboxylic acid. Among them, terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid are preferable, and terephthalic acid is more preferable.

The biodegradable resin (B) may be in the form of a combination of the aliphatic polyester resin and/or the aliphatic aromatic polyester resin and other biodegradable resins. Examples of the other biodegradable resin include: poly (3-hydroxyalkanoate) of aliphatic polyester copolymer obtained from hydroxyalkanoic acid and polycarboxylic acid (wherein poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxycaproate) (poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate, PHBH) (for example, "ornielex (AONILEX)" (trade name) manufactured by Kaneka corporation), polylactic acid (polylactic acid, PLA) (for example, "Le Wode (REVODE)" (trade name) manufactured by haeman biological materials corporation, and "leygorski (Ingeo)" (trade name) manufactured by naqigaku (nature works)) are disclosed.
The content of the biodegradable resin (B) may be 35 to 95 parts by mass, more preferably 35 to 94.99 parts by mass, still more preferably 35 to 94.5 parts by mass, and still more preferably 39 to 90 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the resin composition. The content of the biodegradable resin (B) is within the above range, whereby the processability and moldability of the resin composition can be achieved. The total content of the aliphatic polyester resin and/or the aliphatic aromatic polyester resin is preferably 80 parts by mass or more, more preferably 90 parts by mass or more, based on 100 parts by mass of the biodegradable resin (B).
(Viscosity modifier (C))
The viscosity modifier (C) is a substance that adjusts the viscosity of the resin composition to improve moldability, and increases the melt tension of the resin composition, which is an index of moldability. The viscosity modifier (C) is not particularly limited, and generally available ones can be used. Examples include: carbodiimide compounds, oxazoline compounds, epoxy compounds, acid anhydride compounds, cellulose fibers, silica-based fillers, and the like.
The melt tension of the resin composition can be increased by using a polyfunctional compound as the viscosity modifier (C) and forming a crosslinked structure with the biodegradable resin (B). Examples of the polyfunctional compound include a polyfunctional carbodiimide compound, a polyfunctional oxazoline compound, an epoxy compound, and an acid anhydride compound. The multifunctional carbodiimide compound may be a monomer or a polymer having two or more carbodiimide groups, but is preferably a polymer having two or more carbodiimide groups.
The melt tension of the resin composition can be increased by introducing a reactive group into the biodegradable resin (B) using a reactive compound as the viscosity modifier (C) and forming a crosslinked structure starting from the reactive group. Examples of the reactive compound include a carbodiimide compound, an oxazoline compound, an epoxy compound, and an acid anhydride compound. It is preferable to use a cyclic carbodiimide as the carbodiimide compound. The cyclic carbodiimide compound is a compound having a carbodiimide group on the ring of an aliphatic ring or an aromatic ring.
The use of the filler as the viscosity modifier (C) increases the solid content of the resin composition and thickens the same, thereby increasing the melt tension of the resin composition. The filler may be any of an organic filler and an inorganic filler, and examples thereof include cellulose fibers and silica fillers.
In a preferred embodiment, compounds described in the positive list of green plastics may be used, for example, cellulose microfibrils (cellulose microfibril, CMF) as cellulose fibers, carbodiimide compounds (carbodiimide, CDI) and the like may be used. The cellulose microfibrils are cellulose fibers of a relatively large size obtained by reducing a defibration step of cellulose obtained by subjecting pulp to treatment with hot water or the like, and after the pulp is hydrolyzed and embrittled, defibrating the pulp by a pulverizing method such as a high-pressure homogenizer. By containing cellulose microfibrils and a carbodiimide compound, the viscosity of the resin composition is increased, and strength can be ensured.
That is, if the cellulose microfibrils are contained in the resin composition, the strength of the resin composition increases due to the filler effect of the cellulose microfibrils. In addition, the silica-based filler has a filler effect similar to that of cellulose microfibrils, and thus increases the strength of the resin composition similar to that of cellulose microfibrils. In the molding of the resin composition containing at least one of the cellulose microfibrils and the silica-based filler as the viscosity modifier (C), for example, blow molding or the like may be used.
If the carbodiimide compound is contained in the resin composition, the resin reacts with the carbodiimide compound to increase the molecular weight of the resin, and therefore, it takes time until the molecular weight of the resin becomes small, and the biodegradation rate becomes slow. Therefore, in the case of agricultural materials requiring the strength of the resin composition, it is preferable to contain a carbodiimide compound as the viscosity modifier (C). In addition, the oxazoline compound, the epoxy compound, and the acid anhydride compound have reactivity with the resin, respectively, similarly to the carbodiimide compound, and therefore, the strength of the resin composition can be improved, respectively. The resin composition containing at least one of a carbodiimide compound, an oxazoline compound, an epoxy compound, and an acid anhydride compound can be molded, for example, using vacuum molding.
Examples of the carbodiimide compound include: polycarbodiimide compounds such as "Carbodilite (Carbodilite) HMV-15CA (trade name)", manufactured by Nisshink chemical company; diisopropylcarbon diimine (II) diisopropylcarbodiimide dimethyl carbodiimide monocarbodiimides such as diisobutylcarbodiimide, dioctylcarbodiimide, t-butylisopropylcarbodiimide and di-t-butylcarbodiimide; and cyclic carbodiimide compounds such as "Ka Lu Baoji Sta (Carbosista) TCC-NP (trade name)", manufactured by Di person Co., ltd. These compounds may be used alone or in combination.
As the oxazoline compound, for example, "Ebolos (Epocros) RA-45" (trade name), "Ebolos (Epocros) RPS-1005" (trade name) manufactured by Japanese catalyst Co., ltd. These compounds may be used alone or in combination.
Examples of the epoxy compound include: epoxy-acrylic compound (manufactured by BASF corporation, "Zhuang Keli (Joncryl) ADR-4468" (trade name), manufactured by BASF corporation, "Zhuang Keli (Joncryl) ADR-4400" (trade name), manufactured by east Asia Synthesis Co., ltd., "A Lu Hong (Arufon) UG-4040" (trade name), manufactured by east Asia Synthesis Co., ltd., "A Lu Hong (Arufon) UG-4070" (trade name)), and the like. These compounds may be used alone or in combination.
Examples of the acid anhydride compound include: styrene maleic anhydride compound (pamehold HOLLAND) manufactured by pamehold brand company, "Xibaode (XIBOND) 120" (trade name), "Xibaode (XIBOND) 140" (trade name), "Xibaode (XIBOND) 160" (trade name), "Xibaode (XIBOND) 180" (trade name), "Xibaode (XIBOND) 200" (trade name), "Xibaode (XIBOND) 220" (trade name), "Xibaode (XIBOND) 250" (trade name), "Xibaode (XIBOND) 280" (trade name), "Xibaode (XIRAN) 1000" (trade name), "Xilan (XIRAN) 2000" (trade name), "Xilan (XIRAN) 2500" (trade name), "Xilan (XIRAN) 3000" (trade name), "Xilan (XIRAN) 4000" (trade name), "Xibaode (XIRAN) 6000" (trade name), "Xilan (XIRAN) 0" (trade name), "Xilan (XIRAN) and so on. These compounds may be used alone or in combination.
Examples of the silica-based filler include: silica filler (Japanese Ai Luoxi mol (Aerosil) manufactured by the company GmbH) 'Ai Luoxi mol (Aerosil) 130' (trade name), 'Ai Luoxi mol (Aerosil) 150' (trade name), 'Ai Luoxi mol (Aerosil) 200' (trade name), 'Ai Luoxi mol (Aerosil) 300' (trade name), 'Ai Luoxi mol (Aerosil) RX 200' (trade name), 'Ai Luoxi mol (Aerosil) RY 200' (trade name), 'Nipsil) SS-50B' (trade name), 'Nipsil) SS-50F' (trade name), 'Nipsil) K-500' (trade name), 'Nipsil) G-300' (trade name), and the like. These compounds may be used alone or in combination.
In order to make the viscosity of the resin composition appropriate, the content of the viscosity modifier (C) is preferably 0.01 to 3 parts by mass, more preferably 0.01 to 2 parts by mass, and may be 0.01 to 1 part by mass or 0.1 to 0.8 part by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the resin composition.
Further, since the cellulose fibers contribute to high viscosity and high strength of the resin composition, if the content of the cellulose fibers contained in the resin composition is large, fluidity and processability of the resin composition may be lowered, and moldability of the resin composition may be lowered. Therefore, when the cellulose fiber is contained in the resin composition, the content of the cellulose fiber is preferably 0 part by mass or more and less than 1.5 parts by mass, more preferably 0.01 part by mass to 1.4 parts by mass, still more preferably 0.01 part by mass to 1.2 parts by mass, and still more preferably 0.01 part by mass to 1 part by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the resin composition. When the content of the cellulose fiber is within the above range, fluidity and processability of the resin composition can be ensured, and the reduction in moldability of the resin composition can be suppressed.
(Plasticizer (D))
The thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural materials of the present embodiment does not contain a plasticizer (D) which is generally used for plasticizing the starch (a). In the present specification, "not containing the plasticizer (D)" means that the plasticizer (D) is substantially not contained, specifically, the content of the plasticizer (D) is 0 to 5 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the resin composition.
Examples of the plasticizer (D) include alcohols which are organic compounds having a hydroxyl group. Specifically, glycerin, monoglyceride, ethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol are examples.
When the plasticizer (D) is 5 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the resin composition, good moldability can be achieved while suppressing surface blocking of the obtained molded article. The content of the plasticizer (D) is preferably 0 to 2 parts by mass, more preferably 0 to 1 part by mass, and even more preferably 0 part by mass (excluding) based on 100 parts by mass of the resin composition, from the viewpoints of blocking inhibition and moldability.
(Other Components)
The resin composition may optionally contain other components such as other additives (excluding the plasticizer (D)) as required. Examples of other additives include: dispersants, lubricants (higher fatty acid metal salts, waxes, etc.), hydrotalcite, surfactants, antistatic agents, flame retardants, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, fillers, pigments, etc. The choice of other optional components and the amounts thereof are not particularly limited as long as they are within a range that can solve the problems of the embodiment of the present invention. Multiple additives may also be used in combination. The resin composition may contain a part of a resin other than the biodegradable resin within a range that does not hinder the effect of the embodiment of the present invention.
The resin composition is colored with a pigment, whereby a molded article having excellent heat insulating effect or a molded article which is easily recognized can be produced. The pigment is not particularly limited, and a generally available pigment can be used, but from the viewpoint of natural environment, a pigment substantially free of cadmium, lead, chromium, arsenic, mercury, copper, selenium, nickel, molybdenum, and fluorine is preferable.
For example, when the resin composition contains a pigment, a dispersant for dispersing the pigment is preferably used in combination, and as the dispersant, a fatty acid metal salt is exemplified. The fatty acid component of the fatty acid metal salt is preferably a linear carboxylic acid having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and may be linear or branched, or may have only a saturated bond or an unsaturated bond.
Examples of fatty acids include: caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, behenic acid, oleic acid, erucic acid, linoleic acid, montanic acid, and the like.

Examples of fatty acid metal salts include: calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, barium stearate, calcium laurate, magnesium laurate, sodium montanate, and the like. One kind of these may be used, or two or more kinds may be used in combination. Among them, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, calcium laurate, and magnesium laurate are preferable.
(Workability)
In the thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural materials, regarding processability at extrusion, strand breakage occurs 5 times or less, and may be 1 to 5 times, preferably, strand breakage does not occur at the time of continuous production for 1 hour.
(Melt viscosity)
In the thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural materials, japanese industrial standard (Japanese Industrial Standards, JIS) K7199 in terms of strength of the obtained molded article and fluidity and moldability of the resin composition: the melt viscosity at the shear rate 243s -1 in 1999 is preferably 1000pa·s or more and less than 5000pa·s, more preferably 1500pa·s or more and less than 4500pa·s at a temperature of the melting point of the biodegradable resin (B) or more and the melting point +40 ℃ or less.
(Use)
The thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural materials of the present embodiment can be used for various agricultural materials. In particular, the resin composition may be suitable for use as a nursery pot. The seedling pot is a pot for cultivating seedlings in a container until the seedlings grow to a certain degree, and is not directly planted in a field. Since the molded article using the resin composition of the present embodiment is suitably biodegradable in soil, seedlings can be directly transplanted into soil in a seedling pot without taking out the seedlings from the seedling pot after the seedlings grow.
Method of manufacturing
The resin composition of the present embodiment can be produced by kneading the starch (a) and the viscosity modifier (C) at a temperature at which the biodegradable resin (B) melts. Specifically, for example, the biodegradable resin (B), the starch (a), and the viscosity modifier (C) may be added, and various additives may be added as needed, and the mixture may be mixed and melt-kneaded by a batch kneader, a roll mill, a super mixer, a high-speed mixer, a ball mill, a sand mill, an attritor, an internal mixer (Banbury mixer), or the like, to prepare a granular, powdery, granular, or bead-like resin composition. In view of the high kneading force and the easiness of the subsequent molding process, it is preferable to use a single-screw extruder or a twin-screw extruder to prepare pellets.
The resin composition may be used in the form of a master batch or a composite.
In the case of the master batch, after the master batch is produced, for example, the master batch may be formulated as a base resin for agricultural materials using the same biodegradable resin (B) as that used in the production of the master batch as a diluent resin, thereby producing the agricultural materials. The content of the master batch is preferably 1 to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 20 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the biodegradable resin (B) as the main resin.
The biodegradable resin (B) used as the diluent resin in this case may be the same as or different from the one used in the production of the master batch, but is preferably the same biodegradable resin because the thermoplastic resin composition has excellent compatibility with the resin.
In the case of a composite, the composite may be used directly after the composite is manufactured, by which method an agricultural asset is manufactured.
< Agricultural Material >)
The agricultural material of the present embodiment can be obtained by molding the thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural material. Examples of agricultural materials include seedling pots, agricultural mulching films, containers, and agricultural nets.
(Seedling pot)
The nursery pot is a container used for the purpose. The method of molding the seedling pot is not particularly limited, and suitable examples thereof include blow molding in which a heated and plasticized resin composition is extruded and directly introduced into a mold without cooling and solidifying the resin composition and air is supplied, and vacuum molding in which a sheet or film of the heated and plasticized resin composition is placed on the mold and vacuum-sucked from the inside of the mold to perform molding.
The seedling pot containing the resin composition can be biodegraded after being buried in soil, so that the natural environment is not destroyed, and the labor for taking out seedlings from the seedling pot and spreading the planted seedlings can be reduced. The seedling pot is not degraded during the cultivation period of the seedling, namely about 4 months, and can be well cultivated. In addition, the seedling raising pot has strength suitable for seedling raising use, so that the operation is easy, and the proper shape can be maintained during seedling raising.
(Agricultural mulch film)
Agricultural mulch (mulching film)) is a film that covers the roots of crops. The method for molding a film from the resin composition is not particularly limited, and a method of extrusion molding in which a film extruded in a T-die using an extruder is cooled and solidified by a casting roll, or molding by an inflation molding machine is suitable.
Blow molding and vacuum Forming
Since the melt tension of the resin composition is increased by the viscosity modifier (C), the resin composition can be prevented from being pulled down (the resin after the preform cannot withstand its own weight and sags down in the gravity direction).
In the case of blow molding, the molded article can be suppressed from becoming thinner and lighter. The resin composition of the present embodiment may be blow molded, and for example, when 2 seedling raising pots 3 of one group are continuously produced by a direct blow molding machine, the difference between the weight of each seedling raising pot of the first group and the weight of each seedling raising pot of the third group may be set to be less than 30% with respect to the weight of each seedling raising pot of the first group. The weight of each pot may be 0.7g or more and less than 0.8g, preferably 0.8g or more and less than 0.9g, more preferably 0.9g or more. By using the resin composition, blow moldability can be obtained.
For example, in the case where the molded article is a seedling pot, the seedling pot preferably does not flex as long as the seedling pot has strength enough to stand alone. By using the resin composition, a seedling pot ensuring strength can be obtained.
In the case of vacuum forming, occurrence of defective appearance due to sagging such as wrinkles caused by deflection of the sheet can be suppressed. For example, even if there is an appearance defect caused by sagging in the molded article, the vacuum molding may be performed using the resin composition, and the appearance defect is preferably small, and more preferably no appearance defect. By using the resin composition, a vacuum formed article can be obtained.
For example, in the case where the molded article is a nursery pot, when 1kg of soil is put into the nursery pot and dropped from a height of 5m, the nursery pot may be damaged by 3 or less out of 10, or 1 to 3 out of 10, preferably 1 or no damage is caused. By using the resin composition, a seedling pot ensuring strength can be obtained.
(Adhesion of molded article)
The dynamic friction coefficient μd in JIS K7125 of the surface of a molded article molded using the resin composition may be 0.3 or more and less than 0.5, and preferably less than 0.3, as long as it is less than 0.5. By using the resin composition, a molded article having suppressed blocking can be obtained.
(Biodegradation rate)
When a molded article molded from the resin composition is buried in the ground for 6 months, the molded article is degraded and perforated everywhere, and it is preferable that the molded article is degraded and scattered. By using the resin composition, a molded article having a properly adjusted biodegradation rate can be obtained.
According to the present embodiment, the thermoplastic resin composition for agricultural materials contains a specific amount of starch (a) that promotes biodegradability and a viscosity regulator (C) that increases melt tension, and does not contain a plasticizer (D), and therefore, an agricultural material excellent in biodegradability and moldability and suppressed in surface blocking can be obtained.
