- Abstract
Thermal and physico-mechanical properties of polyhydroxyalkanoates of Rhodococcus erythropolis Au-1, Pseudomonas sp. PS-17, Azotobacter vinelandii N-15 and polyhydroxybutyrate/polylactide (PHB/PLA) blends were investigated. The addition 5 wt% PLA improved PHB properties, such as thermal resistance and stiffness. However, higher PLA content led to a decrease in thermal stability, while increasing elongation. PHB/PLA blends are recommended as packaging materials for food, agricultural and pharmaceutical products.
