Film-blown blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) by compatibilization with poly(butylene-co-succinate-co-adipate) with a free radical initiator

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a sustainable and biodegradable polymer that has potential for use in food packaging. However, its low melt strength makes it difficult to process using film-blowing techniques. To address this issue, 70% PHBV and 30% poly(butylene-co-succinate-...
