About this document
Photocatalytic Activity and Biodegradation of Polyhydroxybutyrate by n08ipdos is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the photocatalytic activity and biodegradation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) films containing titanium dioxide (TiO2). The PHB-TiO2 composite films demonstrated significant photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes and enhanced antibacterial activity against E. coli, particularly under solar illumination. Biodegradation rates varied based on exposure to sunlight, with composite films degrading faster than pure PHB films due to the photocatalytic effects of TiO2.
