Synthesis and characterization of branched multiblock copolymers of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) autoxidized fatty acid and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe branched multiblock copolymer based on fatty acid, methyl methacrylate and PHB was first time synthesized. Autoxidation is the reaction of unsaturated fatty acids with air oxygen leading to macroperoxide initiators. Poly (3-hydroxy butyrate), PHB, is
