Abstract

Blending of poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) films with poly(vinyl acetate) was studied. The melting phase morphology and crystallization behaviour of the poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) and poly(vinyl acetate) blends prepared by casting films have been studied by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Likewise, there is no specific interaction between the two polymers was found by FTIR. In the blend the crystallization of poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) was affected by the poly(vinyl acetate) component, particularly in their blends. The properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) were found to be improved by blending with poly(vinyl acetate) and the improvement is a function of the proportion of poly(vinyl acetate) in the blend. The thermal stability for the blends was more stable than the pure polymers. Thermogravmetric analysis (TGA) results showed three-step decomposition assigned to the thermal degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) and poly(vinyl acetate). The melting temperatures of poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) in the blends exhibited a slight shift. For the X-ray diffraction analysis, the crystallization rate was decreased by blending poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) with poly(vinyl acetate).
