Melt spinnabilities of thermoplastic paramylon mixed esters [PDF]
Heliyon, 2019 The low thermoplasticities of polysaccharide esters make them unsuitable for melt spinning. In this study, we aimed to overcome this problem by mixed esterification of paramylon, a euglenoid β-1,3-glucan with short- and medium-chain acyl groups, as melt ...
