[EN] The present work is focused on the development of binary blends from
poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(caprolactone) (PCL). Miscibility, mechanical
and thermal properties as well as blends morphology are evaluated ...
[EN] In this work, different loads (3, 5 and 7 wt%) of pine cone cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were added to films of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PHB/PCL) blends with a composition of 75 wt% PHB and ...
