Thermal degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)plasticized with acetyl tributyl citrate 

 -  Polymer Degradation and Stability, 90, p.313-318, 2005 .
<br/><br/> The effects of acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC)as a biodegradable plasticizer on the thermal stability of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB)were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)and by thermogravimetric (TG)methods under dynamic conditions. The amounts of ATBC varied from 10 wt.
