Polyhydroxyalkanoates, characteristics processing

Polyhydroxyalkanoate(s) (PHA) have gained rapid interest worldwide. The structural diversity of hydroxyalkanoates has resulted in materials with a wide range of physical and thermal characteristics. In addition, the variety of characteristics are significantly impacted by every aspect of upstream processing, as well as recovery during downstream processing. The diversity and versatility of PHA have opened up various opportunities for exploitation as many possibilities are yet to be discovered and evaluated in various applications. [Pg.141]

The aliphatic biopolyesters are mainly polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) like the poly-P-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), polyhydroxyvalerate (PHV), and polyhydroxyhexanoate (PHH). It not only resembles conventional petrochemical mass plastics (like PE or PP) in its characteristics, but it can also be processed easily on standard equipment that already exists for the production of conventional plastics. [Pg.48]
