However, this time with a “green aspect”, since the polymer studied is a bio-based polyester and the organo-modifying agent of the 2D-filler is an amino acid. The same host structure (i.e., LDH

• candidates to replace petroleum-based polymers is polybutylene succinate (PBS) – a biodegradable aliphatic polyester, obtained from the renewable sources succinic acid and butane-1,4-diol via a polycondensation process. Indeed PBS has mechanical characteristics similar to well-known polyolefins, such as low
