Abstract
The poor mechanical properties induced by unsatisfactory crystallization ability limit the widespread use of biosynthesized poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanate) (PHBH). In this work, poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) with a high melting point was first used as a homogeneous nucleating agent to increase the crystallization rate of PHBH by a self-nucleation method with a wider processing temperature window and crystallization kinetics and storage stability of mechanical properties of the PHBH/PHB mixtures were systematically investigated. By controlling the processing temperature and PHB content, the crystal nucleus density and crystallization rate of PHBH could be greatly increased while secondary crystallization was inhibited. When the processing temperature is 185 °C and PHB content is 20 wt%, the half crystallization time is shortened by 96% and the crystallinity was increased to 37.2%. Meanwhile, the mechanical performance of PHBH and its storage stability are greatly improved. Therefore, this work provides a simple and efficient way to improve the crystallization and mechanical performance of PHBH, which is expected to be applied to industrial production on a large scale.

Supernucleation, crystalline structure and thermal stability of bacterially synthesized poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) polyester tailored by thymine as a biocompatible nucleating agent. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 165:1562-1573.

Abstract
Naturally occurring thymine (TM) was incorporated into bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) polyester to fabricate a novel and green biocomposite. Both 0.5% and 1% TM exhibit supernucleation effect on PHB, and crystallization kinetics suggests TM significantly increased Tc and Xc, and substantially shortened t1/2 of PHB. Epitaxial nucleation caused by a perfect crystal lattice matching between PHB and TM, was proposed to elucidate nucleation mechanism of PHB. Hydrogen bond interaction exists between CO, C-O-C groups of PHB and -CH3 (or -CH)/-NH- group of TM. TM interacted with CO group of PHB crystalline phase rather than that of amorphous one. In addition, two new IR crystalline bands assigned to C-O-C group of PHB appeared in the presence of TM, which arises from shift of two amorphous ones, respectively. TM enhanced onset thermal degradation temperature of PHB, mainly attributed to increased degree of crystallinity of PHB and flame retardance effect of TM.

Development and Characterization of Sustainable Composites from Bacterial Polyester Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate -co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) and Almond Shell Flour by Reactive Extrusion with Oligomers of Lactic Acid. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12051097. [PMID: 32403400 PMCID: PMC7285348 DOI: 10.3390/polym12051097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/08/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Eco-efficient Wood Plastic Composites (WPCs) have been obtained using poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hexanoate) (PHBH) as the polymer matrix, and almond shell flour (ASF), a by-product from the agro-food industry, as filler/reinforcement. These WPCs were prepared with different amounts of lignocellulosic fillers (wt %), namely 10, 20 and 30. The mechanical characterization of these WPCs showed an important increase in their stiffness with increasing the wt % ASF content. In addition, lower tensile strength and impact strength were obtained. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) study revealed the lack of continuity and poor adhesion among the PHBH-ASF interface. Even with the only addition of 10 wt % ASF, these green composites become highly brittle. Nevertheless, for real applications, the WPC with 30 wt % ASF is the most attracting material since it contributes to lowering the overall cost of the WPC and can be manufactured by injection moulding, but its properties are really compromised due to the lack of compatibility between the hydrophobic PHBH matrix and the hydrophilic lignocellulosic filler. To minimize this phenomenon, 10 and 20 phr (weight parts of OLA-Oligomeric Lactic Acid per one hundred weight parts of PHBH) were added to PHBH/ASF (30 wt % ASF) composites. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) suggested poor plasticization effect of OLA on PHBH-ASF composites. Nevertheless, the most important property OLA can provide to PHBH/ASF composites is somewhat compatibilization since some mechanical ductile properties are improved with OLA addition. The study by thermomechanical analysis (TMA), confirmed the increase of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLTE) with increasing OLA content. The dynamic mechanical characterization (DTMA), revealed higher storage modulus, E’, with increasing ASF. Moreover, DTMA results confirmed poor plasticization of OLA on PHBH-ASF (30 wt % ASF) composites, but interesting compatibilization effects.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to use natural orotic acid (OA) as a sustainable, environmentally friendly additive to improve the crystallization, rheological, thermal, mechanical, and biodegradation properties of bacterially synthesized poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P34HB). OA was found to be an efficient nucleating agent for P34HB, and dramatically enhanced both non-isothermal and isothermal crystallization rates. The incorporation of OA increased nucleation density and decreased spherulite size, but had little effect on the crystalline structure. The rheological properties of the P34HB were greatly improved by the solid filler OA, particularly when a percolation network structure was formed in the blends. The thermal stability of P34HB was strongly enhanced, as exemplified by the ~23 °C increase in the onset thermal decomposition temperature (To) for the blend loaded with 5 wt% OA compared to that of pure P34HB. Moreover, the yield strength and elongation at break of P34HB containing 0.5 wt% OA increased by 25% and 119%, respectively. The most intriguing result was the clear enhancement in the enzymatic hydrolysis rates of the P34HB/OA blends compared to that of neat P34HB. The synergetic improvement in these properties may be of significant importance for the wider practical application of biosourced P34HB.

Abstract
Orotic acid is a natural heterocyclic compound that acts as a nucleation agent in poly(lactic acid) (PLA). PLA materials with increasing orotic acid content were prepared and characterized. It was found that crystallinity of about 28% was reached with 0.3% content of the agent. Further enhancement in the content of the agent did not provoke any additional significant increase of crystallinity. Subsequently, it was investigated whether the orotic acid content affected photodegradation of PLA and, in the next phase, its biodegradation. The results of rheological measurements showed that the compound slightly accelerates photodegradation of the material, which was accompanied by the cleavage of PLA chains. Previous photodegradation was shown to accelerate the subsequent biodegradation by shortening the lag phase of the process, where the explanation is probably in the reduction of the polymer molecular weight during the photodegradation. Moreover, the presence of orotic acid in both initial and photodegraded samples was found to influence biodegradation positively by shortening the lag phase and increasing the observed maximal rate of the biodegradation.

Abstract
Environmental concerns have led to the development of biorenewable polymers with the ambition to utilize them at an industrial scale. Poly(lactic acid) and poly(hydroxyalkanoates) are semicrystalline, biorenewable polymers that have been identified as the most promising alternatives to conventional plastics. However, both are inherently susceptible to brittleness and degradation during thermal processing; we discuss several approaches to overcome these problems to create a balance between durability and biodegradability. For example, copolymers and blends can increase ductility and the thermal-processing window. Furthermore, chain modifications (e.g., branching/crosslinking), processing techniques (fiber drawing/annealing), or additives (plasticizers/nucleating agents) can improve mechanical properties and prevent thermal degradation during processing. Finally, we examine the impacts of morphology on end-of-life degradation to complete the picture for the most common renewable polymers.
