Mechanical and Thermal Performance of PLA and PHBV- based Biopolymers as Potential Alternatives to PET

The evaluation of the mechanical and thermal properties of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), polylactide (PLA) and their biocomposites (containing 30%wt of sisal in their composition) has been studied and compared to poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). The addition of sisal to th...
