Thermal and flexural properties of regenerated cellulose (RC)/Poly(3- hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) biocomposites

Regenerated cellulose (RC)/ poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) composite were prepared by melt compounding with different RC content from 1 to 7 wt.%. Regenerated cellulose fiber was prepared in NaOH/urea aqueous solution. Properties of the cellulose and regenerated cellulose were compared using Fourier...
