The poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate) (PHO) is a biodegradable polyester containing hydrophobic side chains. One way to obtain more hydrophilic polyester consisted in the introduction of polar groups in the side chains. Carboxyl groups (PHO 75 COOH 25 ) were introduced by chemical modifications. The role of
## Abstract Poly (Lβlactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer with slow crystallization rate. Oligomers of 3βhydroxybutyrate (OHB) and dendrimers of hydroxyalkanoic acids with different molecular weights were blended with PLA in a hope to improve the crystallization ability and thermal stabilit
