Synthesis of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by Immobilized Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Synthase [PDF]
Polymer Journal, 2003 At present, biodegradable and biocompatible polymers are being widely sought by materials industries, and poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) appears to be one of the most promising material sources of such polymers. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a typical PHA and has been investigated in detail.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Nanocomposites with Cellulose Nanocrystals
Polymers, 2022 Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is one of the most promising substitutes for the petroleum-based polymers used in the packaging and biomedical fields due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, good stiffness, and strength, along with its good gas-barrier properties. One route to overcome some of the PHB’s weaknesses, such as its slow crystallization,
