Effect of clamshells filler loading on the tensile properties of polyhydroxybutyrate

In this study, the abundant availability of clamshell, as the potential of the biomass resources for the production of the inorganic filler such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and calcium oxide (CaO) is fully utilized. In addition, the effect of filler loadings toward mechanical properties of polyhydr...
