Article Description

The use of polymers naturally derived from green sources meet the requirements for the development of new sustainable and biodegradable materials. Soy protein (SP) are one of the most processed plant proteins which contain essential amino acid and valuable functional properties which could essentially tailor the hydrophobic poly β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) biodegradable matrix. Novel blend nanofibrous nonwoven from SP and PHB at different proportions and increased hydrophilicity were successfully obtained by electrospinning from formic acid (FA) as a common solvent. The morphology and structure of electrospun blend nanofibers were investigated by SEM, FT-IR and WAXD analysis.
