Article Synopsis
- Polymeric materials from renewable sources are becoming popular alternatives to petroleum-based polymers, particularly for 3D printing techniques like Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM).
- Poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs), especially poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), have great potential but face challenges due to their high crystallinity and low thermal stability.
- Blending PHB with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in different ratios improves the printability of these materials, with a 50:50 blend showing better speed and accuracy in 3D printing complex structures.
