The morphology of crystallisation of PHBV/PHBV copolymer blends [PDF]
European Polymer Journal, 2019 Abstract The crystallisation of a range of as-produced poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolymer blends from a mixed culture polyhydroxyalkanoate production process, with low (15%), high (82%) and intermediate (62% and 50%) average 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) contents, was studied at different temperatures using polarised optical microscopy,

Accelerated Weathering Effects on Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and PHBV/TiO2 Nanocomposites [PDF]
Polymers, 2020 The effect of accelerated weathering on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and PHBV-based nanocomposites with rutile titanium (IV) dioxide (PHBV/TiO2) was investigated. The accelerated weathering test applied consecutive steps of UV irradiation (at 340 nm and 0.76 W m−2 irradiance) and moisture at 50 °C following the ASTM D4329 ...

Polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) with Phenolic Acids for Active Food Packaging
Polymers, 2023 PHBV films incorporating 3, 6 and 9% ferulic acid (FA) or p-coumaric acid (PCA) were obtained by melt blending and compression moulding. The films’ microstructures and thermal behaviours were analysed as well as their mechanical, optical and barrier ...

Centrifugally spun PHBV micro and nanofibres [PDF]
Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2017 This paper reports the first study on centrifugal spinning of PHBV fibres. Fibres were spun from solution using a range of polymer concentrations, spin speeds and spinneret to collector distances. A PHBV polymer concentration of 25% w/v spun at 9000rmin-1 produced the highest quality fibres, with fibre diameters predominantly in the 0.5-3μm range.
