摘要: Injected samples of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) were exposed to biodegradation in simulated soil and then characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential calorimetry (DSC), roughness weight loss. The decomposition medium was evaluated measurements pH, humidity amounts carbon nitrogen. loss test indicated a significant decrease with time, which more intense the first 3 months biodegradation. results obtained means XPS, SEM, DSC analyses suggested possible layer-by-layer degradation process having 3-month period.
