Manufacturing and Properties of Binary Blend from Bacterial Polyester Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyhexanoate) and Poly(caprolactone) with Improved Toughness

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) represent a promising group of bacterial polyesters for new applications. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) is a very promising bacterial polyester with potential uses in the packaging industry; nevertheless, as with many (almost all...
