Crystallization behavior and hydrophobic properties of biodegradable ethyl cellulose-g-poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate): The influence of the side-chain length and grafting density

► Preparing a series of biodegradable EC-g-PHBV copolymers. ► Controlling the side-chain length and grafting density of the copolymers. ► Obtaining expected crystallinity and hydrophobicity of the copolymers.
