Abstract

The influence of elastomers—natural rubber (NR) and synthetic ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR)—on the morphology and physical and mechanical characteristics of composite materials based on polylactide (PLA) and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), respectively, is studied. Differential scanning calorimetry shows differences in the patterns of changes in the thermophysical characteristics of the PLA—NR (with a rubber content of 5 to 15 wt %)—and PHB—synthetic EPR (10–30 wt %)—compositions. The melting point and the degree of crystallinity increase in the case of PLA and decrease in the experiment with PHB. The mechanical characteristics of the investigated compositions have similar dependences: with an increase in the content of rubbers, the relative elongation increases and the tensile strength and elastic modulus decrease.
