Comparing the degradation of Poly-B-(hydroxybutyrate), poly-B-(hydroxbutyrate-co-valerate)(PHBV) and PHBV/cellulose tricate blend

The hydrolytic degradation of poly-b-(hydroxybutyrate) PHB, poly-b- (hydroxybutyrate-co-b-valerate) (PHBV) and PHBV/cellulose triacetate blend was sutnuddeire dd ifferent pH at 37 °C. PHBV showed a similar trend of degradation to PHB but at rhaitgehse irn alkaline medium. The presence of cellulo...
