Characterization of oligomeric hydroxyalkanoic acids from thermal decomposition of palm kernel oil-based biopolyester

Oligomeric hydroxyalkanoic acids can be prepared by thermal decomposition of the original polyesters at moderate high temperature. In this study, low molecular weight hydroxyl acids were produced by heat treating of saponified palm kernel oil-derived medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PH...
