摘要: Poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) [PHB] is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer produced by some bacteria genders. To improve mechanical properties, PHB has been blended with other polymers. Compression-molded blends of poly(e-caprolactone) [PCL] (70/30 mass ratio) were cooled to room temperature following five different thermal treatments after molding at 180 °C. Blends processed higher cooling rates easier biodegrade, nevertheless elongation break tensile strength decreased. Slower kinetics isothermal increased perfection crystals, as seen in differential scanning calorimetry X-ray diffraction spherulites size. A descriptive model proposed herein where thermal, biodegradation, crystal features related applied. It that properties 70/30 (PHB/PCL) can be predetermined an adequate control conditions during processing. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 43569.
