Film blowing of PHBV blends and PHBV-based multilayers for the production of biodegradable packages

Poly(hydroxy butyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) is a biodegradable polymer that is difficult to melt process into films. Such difficulty is mirrored in the lack of literature on film blowing of PHBV- or PHBV-based materials. To circumvent this problem, 70/30 wt % blends of PHBV with a biodegradable compou...
