Polyhydroxy alkanoates

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are the most fascinating group of biopolymer emerges to be the potential candidate for substitute of synthetic plastics. However, high cost of both upstream and downstream processing has limited their successful commercialization. Among these two processes, recovery methodology of PHAs significantly affects the overall production economics.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are polymers, which are produced by microorganisms in the form of granules under unbalanced growth conditions. They are biocompatible, biodegradable and sustainable, which makes it suitable for synthesising biomedical apparatus. Devices such as sutures, orthopaedic devices, cardiovascular implants, implant patches can be prepared using different combinations of this polymer. The polymer and its composites being biodegradable and sustainable can take over the conventional plastics in near future.
