Why should you view this course? The main problems of bioplastics, especially biodegradable ones (PHA/PHB, PLA, PVOH, PBS…) are mechanical properties (especially toughness) & thermal resistance. While mechanical properties are relatively easier to achieve, thermal ones continue to be a challenge. And with new bioplastic chemistries available today, you need to understand the problems to foresee solutions. Join […]
