A simple and efficient technique to prepare aromatic polyhydroxibutirate/polybutylene adipate terephthalate blends

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable polymer, and preparation of a blend with another biodegradable polymer, polybutylene adipate terephthalate or Ecoflex® (ECO) is described. Some works in the previous literature show the possibility of preparing blends involving both. The techniques normally used previously described normally an extrusion process or even mixers that require high investment such as HAAKE Rheomix, for example. The main...
