Plasticization of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) with biobased terpenoid esters of geraniol

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB) is, by far, one of the most promising bacterial polyesters at the commercial scale, but it is a brittle polymer due to physical aging occurring at room temperature, which promotes secondary crystallization. Plasticization is a cost-effective and technical approach to o...
