Synthetic polymer such as polystyrene is already manufactured, mostly for packaging materials. Unlike biopolymer, synthetic polymer can not be decomposed by microorganisms. Copolymer of synthetic polymer and biopolymer are promissing solution for solving plastic waste problems. In this research, we...

The mechanical properties of the copolymer tended to decrease with the increasing of the polyhydroxybutyrate composition in the copolymer, but the degree of crystallinity tended to increase. text
