PHBV/Beer spent grain fibres composites for food packaging : processability and film properties

The high cost, small processing window and poor mechanical properties of polyhydroxyalkanoates hamper their use in demanding packaging applications such as thin films. We report here on the compounding, processability and film blowing of polyhydroxybutyrate-valerate (PHBV)/beer spent grain (BSG) fib...
