Rheological properties

In order to obtain the master curves the isotherms were shifted only in horizontal dimension (bT = 1) at a reference
temperature of T0 = 150 °C using the following aT-values:

To determine zero-shear viscosity from experimental data, Carreau-Yasuda1 equation is used:
𝜂` = 𝜂0
(1 + 𝑎𝜔𝛼)𝛽
Were η´ stands for complex viscosity, ηo is zero-shear viscosity, with ω for frequency and a, α and β are fitting parameters.
The values of parameters in Carreau-Yasuda equation for the studied samples are reported in Table S3.

Dynamic mechanical analysis
Dynamic mechanical analyses (DMA, at a frequency of 1 Hz) of PE-23.23 exhibit a glass transitiona around -27 °C; the
second relaxation phenomenon at around -130 °C can be ascribed to the motion of the methylene sequences of the polyester
main-chain (Figure S16).
Figure S16: Dynamic mechanical analysis (deformation of 0.1 % and frequency of 1Hz) of PE-23.23.
a Glass transition temperatures (Tg) were determined from maximum in loss modulus (G``).
S12
Polyester compounds
Long-chain polyesters (PE-19.19 and PE-23.23) were blended with various types of commercially available thermoplastics
such as linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE, Affinity 8200G) and high density polyethylene (HDPE, Hostalen GC
7260), as well as a thermoplastic elastomer (SEBS, Kraton G1643 MS) and a biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic polyester
(Ecoflex F Blend C1200, BASF). Thermal properties of these blends were determined by means of both DMA and DSC
measurements. The observation of the thermal transitions of the individual components (and also the moduli) support that the
blended polymer combinations studied are not miscible (c.f. Table S4).
