Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on improving the mechanical properties of PHBV by incorporating epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) as a toughening agent and polybutadiene grafted with maleic anhydride (PB-g-MA) as a compatibilizer.
- The optimal blend of 70/30 PHBV/ENR showed significantly enhanced impact strength, nearly doubling that of pure PHBV, with values of 6.92 ± 0.35 J/m and 7.33 ± 1.19 J/m for the different ENR formulations.
- Additionally, the PHBV/ENR blends demonstrated increased biodegradability, with mass reductions of about 40% and 45%, compared to a 37%
