Structure–Processing–Property Relationships in PVOH/PBAT Blends Plasticized with Dipentaerythritol, ε-Caprolactone, and Water

Abstract Water-soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) offers high tensile strength and an excellent oxygen barrier, but its dense hydrogen-bond network places its melting point close to its decomposition temperature, making it difficult to melt-process. Poly(butylene adipate-co-terep...
