The Opportunity for High-Performance Biomaterials from Methane

The Opportunity for High-Performance Biomaterials from Methane

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymers are widely recognised as outstanding candidates to replace conventional petroleum-derived polymers. Their mechanical properties are good and can be tailored through copolymer composition, they are biodegradable, and unlike many alternatives, they do not rely on...
