Preparation and properties of polyhydroxybutyrate blended with different types of starch

This study examines the properties of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) when blended with two types of maize starch, Starch 1 (containing 70% amylose) and Starch 2 (containing 72% amylopectin). The PHB/starch blends were prepared by melt compounding at a ratio of 70/30 by weight and characterized in terms o...
