This work was motivated by the need of a better understanding of the microrheological characteristics of polybutylene terephthalate, PBT, polymer blends, such as the matrix phase PBT and the styrene-acrylonitrile, SAN copolymer ...

Poly(butylene terephthalate)/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PBT/ABS) blends show high toughness at room temperature, low ductile-brittle transition temperature and stable morphology when compatibilized. The flowability ...

In this work, we sought to modify PHB, processing it in the melted state, and to evaluate the effect of the modifications on its mechanical properties and biodegradation characteristics. The following systems were therefore ...
