Soil Biodegradation of Unidirectional Polyhydroxybutyrate-Co-Valerate (PHBV) Biocomposites Toughened With Polybutylene-Adipate-Co-Terephthalate (PBAT) and Epoxidized Natural Rubber (ENR)

The detrimental impact of discarded plastics on the environment has become of increasing concern and this has led to the development of environmentally friendly “green” polymers. PHBV is one such green polymer that offers biodegradability and renewability, however its mechanical performance is quite...
