Polyhydroxyalkanoate: a biodegradable polymer (a mini review)
The current synthetic plastic menace has driven researchers to sort sustainable
alternatives. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) has been proven to be sustainable,
biodegradable, biocompatible and hence could serve as suitable alternative.
PHAs are biodegradable polyester produced by microorganisms that can be
produced from renewable substrates such as starch and plant oils. These biopolyesters are...
