Abstract

Environmental Sciences Physical Chemistry of Materials Environmental Technologies Environmentally Sustainable Manufacturing not elsewhere classified

Controlling the environmental degradation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxyvalerate (P(HB-co-HV)) bioplastics would expand the range of their potential applications. Combining PHB and P(HB-co-HV) films with the anti-fouling agent 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one(DCOI,
