The microbial degradation behavior of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) and its compound with several polyesters such as poly(butylene adipate-<i>co</i>-telephtharate) (PBAT), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), and polylactic acid (PLA) in seawater was tested by a biological oxygen demand (BOD) method. PHBHHx showed excellent biodegradation in seawater in this study. In addition, the biodegradation rate of several blends was much influenced by the weight ratio of PHBHHx ...[more]
