Where can I get some information on PHV? (1 Viewer)

[LUEserJOON]

There seems to be an ungodly amount of informaion on PHB but next to non on PHV. Then again, they say that they are copolymers and whatnot... I need information specifically on PHV.

I wonder how fast this board is.

Just what about polyhydroxyvalerate do you want to know? I mean, I could come up with pages of info, but specifically what information pertaining to PHV do you need?

 

[LUEserJOON]

Everything that you can. I need to do a presentation so I need all the information that I can get my hands on.

It's scary that you even know PHV, and you can "give pages of info" on it...

first of all, copolymer means a polymer made of 2 different monomers... nylon 6,6 is a copolymer...

it appears that hydroxyvaleric acid has 5 carbons instead of 4 (as in the case of butyric acid) and PHV seems to be a copolymer of HB and HV.

property of a copolymer really depends on alot of things, the regularities of copolymer (block, synchronised, random), branching, etc...

but onething is for sure, it's also a biopolymer...
