What is Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates containing monomers conferring amorphous and elastomeric properties from renewable resources: Current status and future perspectives about?

Petrochemical-based plastics cause environmental pollution and threaten humans and ecosystems. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is considered a promising alternative to nondegradable plastics since it is eco-friendly and biodegradable polymer having similar properties to conventional plastics. PHA’s material properties are generally determined by composition and type of monomers in PHA. PHA can be designed in tailor-made manner for their suitable application areas. Among many monomers in PHAs, ω-hydroxalkanoates such as 3-hydroxypropionate (3HP), 4-hydroxybutyrate (4HB), 5-hydroxyvalerate (5HV), and 6-hydroxyhexanoate (6HHx) and medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoate such as 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) and 4-hydroxyvalerate (4HV), have been examined as potential monomers able to confer amorphous and elastomer properties when these are incorporated as comonomer in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) copolymer that has 3HB as main monomer along with comonomers in different monomer fraction. Herein, recent advances in production of PHAs designed to have amorphous and elastomeric properties from renewable sources such as lignocellulose, levulinic acid, crude glycerol, and waste oil are discussed.
