Polyhydroxyalkanoate/Ligno-Cellulosic Composites : Blending of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers

Over the years, biodegradable polymers have gained mutual interests due to continual environmental pollution caused by non-degradable polymers. This book emphasises on the blending of biodegradable polymers, namely poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers. The properties of the resulting blends and possible leached toxic chemicals from the biocomposites were studied.
