Simultaneous pollutant removal and PHB accumulation in simple anaerobic treatment of oily wastewater [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
Oil and grease is one of the complicated pollutants to be removed due to oil-in-water emulsions content. This research is a treatment of oily wastewater from an edible oil factory.

Influence of reprocessing on monopolymer blends of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)

Polymer Testing
This work addresses the mechanical recycling of the biobased and biodegradable polymer Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by investigating different properties at each stage from once extruded (E) PHB blended with virgin (V) material in two ratios (E20V80 and E80V20) and further extruded five times (E5).

Pro-ecological packaging materials based on polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Polymers are common used in everyday life. For economic reasons and specific properties, they replace traditional materials such as glass, wood or paper. The use of polymeric materials generates waste, whose disposal is difficult. Legislation and pressures on the use of pro-ecological materials have increased interest in biodegradable polymers.

Scalable Wheat Bran‐Algae Composites for Edible Electronics with Spray‐Coated Food‐Grade Conductive Inks

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 13, 6 July 2026.
A fully edible wheat bran–algae substrate is fabricated through scalable mould‐compression and spray‐coating, enabling robust, food‐grade platforms for sustainable electronics. A chitosan barrier improves water resistance and ink compatibility, while activated‐carbon conductive films form uniform electrodes with Ohmic behaviour.

Compatibilization and Reinforcement of PHB/PBAT Blends via Sequential Blending of Surface‐Modified Cellulose

Polymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 7, Page 5358-5370, July 2026.
Sequential blending improved the mechancial properties of PHB/PBAT/cellulose composites as compared to the one‐step batch mixing method. ABSTRACT Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural and biodegradable polymer generated by bacteria. While its applications to potentially replace petroleum‐based plastics are severely limited due to its brittleness and ...

Isolation and Enhancement of PHB-producing Bacteria from Sewage using Watermelon Rinds

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Plastics contribute significantly to global environmental pollution due to their non-biodegradable nature. Biopolymers like polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), synthesized by microorganisms, offer an eco-friendly alternative.

Shear Piezoelectricity in Poly(L‐Lactic Acid): From Molecular Chirality to Regenerative Materials Design

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review highlights how PLLA's molecular chirality and noncentrosymmetric chain packing generate intrinsic shear piezoelectricity without electrical poling, while crystallinity, optical purity, and molecular orientation define its design space. By distinguishing intrinsic d14 from device‐level outputs and connecting processing strategies to tissue ...

Mechanistic Insight with HBCH₂CoA as a Probe to Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Synthases

ACS Chemical Biology, 2014
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthases catalyze the polymerization of 3-(R)-hydroxybutyrate coenzyme A (HBCoA) to produce polyoxoesters of 1-2 MDa. A substrate analogue HBCH2CoA, in which the S in HBCoA is replaced with a CH2 group, was synthesized in 13 steps using a chemoenzymatic approach in a 7.5% overall yield.

Improved polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production in transgenic tobacco by enhancing translation efficiency of bacterial PHB biosynthetic genes [PDF]

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2011
Polyhydroxybutyrate [P(3HB)] was produced in the transgenic tobacco harboring the genes encoding acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (PhaB) and polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (PhaC) from Ralstonia eutropha (Cupriavidus necator) with optimized codon usage for expression in tobacco. P(3HB) contents in the transformants (0.2mg/g dry cell weight in average) harboring
