Abstract:Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and coffee dregs (CDs) are both biodegradable materials. The latter are household wastes with no commercial value that are discarded in landfills mixed with other organic wastes. PHB has properties equivalent to polypropylene (PP), but its prohibitive cost restricts its field of application. The incorporation of this residue in a PHB matrix is a way to obtain materials with a high cost/benefit ratio. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of adding oil-free coffee dreg… Show more
