Partially bio-based thermoplastic elastomers by physical blending of poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)

Partially bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (bio-TPE) were designed and prepared by physical blending a commercial grade poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHBM, Metabolix) and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA). The PHBM is miscible with EVA90 which has a vinyl acetate (VA) content of 90 wt% while it is...
