Development of polyhydroxybutyrate based blends for compostable packaging

In this research, three polymers have been blended with polyhydroxybutyrate: poly(ethylene glycol), maize starch and polylactic acid. Their morphology, structure, thermal, rheological, mechanical properties and biodegradation behaviour have been studied. Blends of PHB and PEG, at three different con...
