Popis: The ultrafine fibers based on mixtures of biodegradable polyesters (poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and polylactide (PLA)) are produced via electrospinning. The dependence of the mixed fiber structure on composition is shown by optical microscopy. Using the probe technique of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods, the structure of the crystalline and amorphous regions of the fibers is analyzed. The introduction of 10–70% of PHB into the PLA matrix leads to a sharp increase in molecular mobility, but the radical concentration in the amorphous regions decreases dramatically. The increase in the PHB concentration in the mixture over 70% results in a decrease in molecular mobility. Studies on the polymer matrix state for the first time allow one to interpret at the supramolecular level the effects of ozone and ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the structural and dynamic characteristics of PHB/PLA fibers. It is shown that the correlation time of the radical in mixtures is minimal and does not depend on the polymer ratio in the fiber and the time of exposure to ozone and UV radiation.
