Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a family of Polyhydroxyesters of 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-hydroxyalkanoic acids, which are produced by a variety of bacterial species under nutrient-limiting conditions with excess carbon and are found as discrete cytoplasmic inclusions in bacterial cells. The first and most prevalent PHA is poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). More than 150 different monomers can be combined within this family to give materials with extremely different properties. The mechanical properties and biocompatibility of PHA can also be changed by blending, modifying the surface or combining PHA with other polymers, enzymes and inorganic materials, making it possible for a wider range of applications. These plastics are biodegradable and are used in the production of green plastics. A PHA copolymer called poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is less stiff and tougher.
PHB exhibits high stiffness and crystallinity. In order to increase its flexibility and processing capabilities, PHB is often copolymerized with PHV to form PHBV. Increasing PHV content in PHB also reduces the stiffness, melting point, and crystallinity of PHB.
PHAs has excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability which employed widely for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering scaffolds
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) has wide area of applications including biomedical applications, such as sutures, stents, dialysis media, and drug delivery devices. It is also being evaluated as a material for tissue engineering; loose-fill packaging, compost bags, food packaging, and disposable tableware. PLA can be in the form of fibers and nonwoven textiles; Potential uses: upholstery, disposable garments, awnings, and feminine hygiene products.
