Enhanced Mechanical and Water Absorption Properties of Rice Husk-Derived Nano-SiO2 Reinforced PHBV Composites

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate–co–3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a biodegradable polymer and has several potential applications. Herein, we have used a rich biomass resource, rice husk, to obtain rice husk nano-SiO2 (RHNS) and prepared RHNS/PHBV composites by using hot-press molding. The r...
