Abstract
Thermal properties of PHB and PHB/PEG blends were investigated by diff erential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and melt index (MI) test. DSC ther mograms indicate that two components of blend are miscible. From the D SC thermogram, we can also conclude that the melting point of PHB desc ends with the increased content of PEG, this can improve PHB processin g properties. From MI data, we may draw the same conclusion.
