Photoacoustic Monitoring of Internal Plastification in Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) Copolymers: Measurements of Thermal Parameters

Basic data on thermophysical properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolymers poly(3HB-co-3HV) were investigated with the aim of understanding the role of 3-hydroxyvalerate monomeric units (3HV) incorporated during random copolymerization. The results show strong evidence that i...
