A series of branched poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) were synthesized with several branching agents namely trimethylol propane (TMP), malic acid, trimesic acid, citric acid and glycerol propoxylate. The structure of the branched polymers was analyzed by SEC and ¹H-NMR. The effect of branching agent structure on crystallization was also investigated and played a significant role. Isothermal studies showed that glycerol propoxylate could act as a nucleating agent. By contrast high content of TMP disturbed the regularity of the chain and hindered the crystallization of PBS. From the non-isothermal kinetic study, it was found that glycerol propoxylate increased noticeably the crystallization rate due to the flexible structure of the branching agent. A secondary nucleation was observed with glycerol propoxylate attributed to the crystallization of amorphous fraction included between crystallites formed at the primary crystallization. Chain topology was obtained through rheological investigations and the synthesized polymers showed a typical behavior of a mixture of linear and randomly branched PBS. The incorporation of branches improved the processability of PBS for film blowing application and the modulus and the stress at break of the resulting film were significantly increased.
