Thermal degradation of microbial copolyesters: poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate)
Masao Kunioka,Yoshiharu Doi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, les copolymeres etudies sont instables a l'etat fondu au dessus de 170°C, quelle que soit leur composition; leur masse moleculaire diminue rapidement avec une cinetique qui suit le modele de rupture de chaine aleatoire aux groupes esters.

Crystalline and thermal properties of bacterial copolyesters: poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate)
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of copolyesters of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate by Alcaligenes eutrophus from butyric and pentanoic acids
TL;DR: It is suggested that butyric and pentanoic acids are incorporated into the copolyester as 3HB and 3HV units respectively without decomposition of the carbon skeletons in the cell.
