Ss. Goncalves et al., Determination of thermal and sorption properties of poly-3-hydroxy octanoate using photothermal methods, PHYS ST S-A, 187(1), 2001, pp. 289-295
With the increasing human awareness in environmental problems, the developm
ent of new biocompatible and biodegradable materials has become of increasi
ng importance. This work is concerned with the use of photoacoustic methodo
logies to study the thermophysical properties and diffusion coefficient of
O-2 and CO2 of poly-3-hydroxy octanoate samples.
