Telechelic Polyhydroxyalkanoates/Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHAs/PHBs)
, 2017 Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)s, PHAs, are natural polyesters collected as intracellular granules as a result of a metabolic stress upon unbalanced growth, owing to a limited supply of a necessary nutrient and to the presence of an excess of a carbon source [1,2,3,4,5,6,7-8]. PHAs have material properties ranging from rigid and highly crystalline to elastic,

Polyhydroxybutyrate/Mica Biocomposites: Influence of Filler Content on the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of PHB [PDF]
Materials ResearchPolyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a crystalline and linear biopolymer that is biodegradable and biocompatible. However, due to its high crystallinity, PHB is rigid and brittle, limiting its applications.

Development of a block copolymer for impact modification of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019 Bioplastics, which will see rising demand in the next years, have to be compounded by using a twin screw extruder like conventional plastics. By using a twin-screw extruder, the molecular weight of the bioplastic polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) can be degraded under control. In a second step, the short-chain PHB and a soft phase can be compounded to a larger

Quantification of Bacterial Polyhydroxybutyrate Content by Flow Cytometry
Bio-Protocol, 2017 We describe here a detailed protocol for the quantification of the intracellular content of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in a population of bacterial cells by flow cytometry, which is based on a consensus of several previously reported works.
