Abstract
Reaction injection moulding of blend samples of poly(beta-hydroxybutyr ate-co-beta-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and poly-epsilon-caprolactone (PCL ) has been performed in the presence of peroxide. The blends are compa red to mechanical PHBV/PCL blends obtained in the absence of peroxides . Differences in chemical-physical and mechanical properties are inter preted on the basis of intergrafted species present in the peroxide-tr eated blends. The obtained blends are proposed as versatile materials for applications for bioresorbable prostheses.
