Natural Antioxidants as Thermal Stabilizers in Fully Biobased PHBV Compounds
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 9, March 5, 2026.Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are promising biobased polymers but degrade easily under heat and oxygen. This study examines PHBV with natural antioxidants to enhance thermal stability during processing. Results show regenerative additives prevent degradation and the effectiveness is comparable to that of synthetic additives.
