“…Within PHAs, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) homopolymer has a high degree of crystallinity, resulting in a stiff and brittle nature. PHAs are resistant to hydrolytic degradation, PHAs show interesting and exceptional film-forming ability and offer a low permeation to gases (oxygen and water vapor), good UV resistance, but low chemical resistance towards acids and bases [154]. Two main restrictions for their use and application in large-scale are related to the high cost of polymers and characteristics (they suffer problems during processing because of the limited temperature processing range and a moderately low-impact performance related to high crystallinity values).…”

“…The large application of biopolymers in this sector has huge advantages in terms of a decreased dependence on fossil fuel reserves and limitation of the environmental problems associated with synthetic polymer pollution. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), which are obtained by bacterial synthesis, are considered as very promising candidates for food packaging and biomedical applications [4,5,6]. Their hydrolytic degradation in the environment and in living systems leads to oligomeric byproducts that are further processed by biochemical pathways [5,7].…”

Their hydrolytic degradation in the environment and in living systems leads to oligomeric byproducts that are further processed by biochemical pathways [5,7]. Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is the most studied of the PHAs and some of its properties are comparable to those of the petrochemical-based polymers [3].…”
