• Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA): Review of synthesis, characteristics, processing and potential applications in packaging (2014, background): “However, blends with other biodegradable polymers and composites based on PHB that exclude any synthetic component are also very convenient as industrial materials due to their easier processability and lower cost ([35, 36]).”
• Composites of Wood and Biodegradable Thermoplastics: A Review (2018, background): “The homopolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) in particular was reported to have a narrow processing temperature window and the material can be brittle in nature.(78) In order to overcome such challenges, researchers have explored the properties of other homopolymers or random copolymers of PHA.”
• Bacterial synthesis of biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (2007, background): “…properties of the PHA family and the extended performance obtainable by chemical modification (Zinn and Hany 2005) or blending (Zhang et al. 1997; Avella et al. 2000; Lee and Park 2002; Wang et al. 2005; Gao et al. 2006; Kunze et al. 2006) provide a broad range of potential end-use applications.”
