An investigation has been made of the probability of blends of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and ethylene–propylene rubber and 100% PHB being contaminated by micromycete species. Aspergillus flavus, Trichoderma viride, and Penicillium chrysogenum were most aggressive. The thermophysical characteristics after exposure to organic acids were determined.
