Popis: The structure and mechanical properties of melt-pressed sheets of bacterially produced poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHB/HV) filled with various amounts of particulate maize starch granules have been investigated. The experimental methods included stress–strain measurements, differential thermal analysis to determine heats of fusion and melting temperatures, scanning electron microscopy, and optical microscopy to obtain information on crystallization behaviour and spherulite growth.
