AB - Non-isothermal crystallization and subsequent melting of biodegradable  poly(bu-tylene succinate-co-terephthalate) copolyesters with different  butylene terephtha-late contents were investigated by differential scanning  calorimetry measurements. Differential scanning calorimetry crystallization  curves revealed that butylene terephthalate contents of poly(butylene  succinate-co-terephthalate) copolyesters had an identical effects on the  onset, peak and final crystallization temperatures. Subsequent differential  scanning calorimetry melting curves implied that both PBST-10 and PBST-70  copolyesters had the narrow distribution of lamellar thickness, while the  PBST-50 copolyester showed much wider distribution.
