Poly(ω-hydroxy pelargonate) or P(ω-OHP) is a potential biodegradable plastic which was prepared by melt condensation of its monomer (ω-hydroxy pelargonic acid). In this study, the performances of P(ω-OHP) in thermal and mechanical aspects, as well as the method employed for the monomer preparation w...
