Poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s
Poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHAs) have emerged as a family of aliphatic polyesters produced by a number of bacteria. PHAs have attracted much attention as biodegradable thermoplastics to solve the waste disposal challenge. Currently, from the viewpoint of effective utilization of natural resources, the...
