PHAs have material properties ranging from rigid and highly crystalline to elastic, rather amorphous, and flexible. Many studies have been reported on the modification reactions of PHAs to enhance their mechanical and thermal properties [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16-17]. © 2017 by Pan Stanford Publishing Pte.
