Biodegradation Studies of Polyhydroxybutyrate and Polyhydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-Polyhydroxyvalerate Films in Soil

Due to increased environmental pressures, significant research has focused on finding suitable biodegradable plastics to replace ubiquitous petrochemical-derived polymers. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a class of polymers that can be synthesized by microorganisms and are biodegradable, making the...
