摘要：Plastic waste is increasing every year and the precise time needed for biodegradation is unknown. Environmentalawareness has driven the development of new biodegradable materials, especially for single use plastic items.Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), biodegradable thermoplastic polyester is emerging out as a boon to overcome the problem ofplastic waste accumulation. However, it has some drawbacks like moreover, it is still much more expensive and lacksmechanical strength compared with conventional plastics, high crystallinity, stiff and brittle, thereby resulting in poormechanical properties with a low extension at break, which limits its range of applications. Here we report some PHBbased blends which improved the quality of plasticizers.
