Influence of epoxidized palm oil on polyhydroxyalkanoates tensile properties

These papers focus on the influence of epoxidized palm oil (EPO) on polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) tensile properties. Previous researchers has found a thermoplastic polymer polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) that exhibit biodegradable properties and produced from renewable materials such as sugar and molasse...
