PHA of they type PHB and PHV are generated from microbial source, when we tried making molds it remains very flexibly and thin films made gets torn out between glass slides. Any idea on how to make it by simple techniques
Dissolving with sonication and heat or just as such? and whats the way to purify them after extraction with hypochlorite? The NMR Peaks show darker bands
Enclosed a publication with the extraction and purification protocol. Finally, PHA was dissolved in chloroform at room temperature. Chloroform was evaporated overnight to obtain a PHA-film.
Sir excellent. Have you worked with these? Currently in our country we do not have much companies interested in biopolymers. Which are all the possible places where we can suggest its usage?
I used to work with PHA. However, since qite a while I am following the development of this field only from the distance. Here some links which might be of interest for you:
