    Aquatic biodegradation of poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) in polylactic acid and maleic anhydride blended fibers

    In this study PLA and PHB were melt-blended with/without maleic anhydride (MA) as a compatibilizer and melt-spun into a monofilament. The aquatic biodegradation of PLA/PHB fibers was tracked regarding the PLA ...

    Aquatic Biodegradation of Poly(β-Hydroxybutyrate) and Polypropylene Blends with Compatibilizer and the Generation of Micro- and Nano-Plastics on Biodegradation

    Poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a well-known biodegradable bio-based polymer but can be brittle. Polymer blending of PHB with polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) has been proposed to improve the mechanica...
