Effect of morphology and molecular orientation on environmental water biodegradability of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyvalerate]
Abstract
The biodegradation behaviors of several forms of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyvalerate] (P(3HB-co-3HV)) in seawater and freshwater, namely, powder, cast film, undrawn fiber, and fivefold-drawn fiber, were analyzed via biochemical oxygen demand, weight loss, and scanning electron microscopy measurements. The powder showed the highest degradation rate, attributed to its larger surface area, which allows microorganisms to attach to...
