sample | Young’s modulus/MPa | tensile strength/MPa | elongation at break/% |
---|---|---|---|
PGBS90 | 40.5 ± 17.9 | 4.19 ± 1.21 | 537 ± 71 |
PGBS90 AN | 588 ± 69 | 30.0 ± 2.5 | 171 ± 41 |
PGBAT88 | 10.9 ± 1.6 | 1.10 ± 0.01 | 1820b |
PGBAT88 AN | 189 ± 24 | 11.8 ± 0.5 | 85.9 ± 21.6 |
Samples were stored at 21 °C for 2 days before testing.
All samples reached maximum extension without breaking.
