Heat resistance of new biobased polymeric materials, focusing on starch, cellulose, <scp>PLA</scp>, and <scp>PHA</scp>

Abstract

ABSTRACT This review provides state of the art information on the heat resistance of biobased thermoplastic materials. It gives an overview of the parameters used to indicate heat resistance, strategies to improve the heat resistance of (biobased) plastic materials and some current “heat resistant” commercially available biobased plastics materials. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
