Abstract
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (P(3HB-co-3HV) copolymers are an attractive class of biopolymers whose properties can be tailored by changing the 3-hydroxyvalerate monomer (3HV) concentration, offering the possibility of counteracting problems related to high crystallinity, brittleness, and processability. However, there are few studies about the effects of 3HV content on the processability of copolymers. The present study aims to provide new insights into the effect of 3HV content on the processing step including common practices like compounding, addition of nucleation agents and/or amorphous polymers as plasticizers. P(3HB-co-3HV)-based films containing 3, 18, and 28 mol % 3HV were processed into films by extrusion and subsequent molding. The characterization results confirmed that increasing the 3HV content from 3 to 28 mol % resulted in a decrease in the melting point (from 175 to 100 °C) and an improvement in mechanical properties (i.e., elongation at break from 7 ± 1% to 120 ± 3%). The behavior of P(3HB-co-3HV) in the presence of additives was also investigated. It was shown that an increase in the 3HV content leads to better miscibility with amorphous polymers.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a group of natural polyesters that are synthesised by microorganisms. In general, their thermoplasticity and (in some forms) their elasticity makes them attractive alternatives to petrochemical-derived polymers. However, the high crystallinity of some PHAs - such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB) - results in brittleness and a narrow processing window for applications such as packaging. The production of copolymeric PHA materials is one approach to improving the mechanical and thermal properties of PHAs. Another solution is the manufacture of PHA-based block copolymers. The incorporation of different polymer and copolymer blocks coupled to PHA, and the resulting tailorable microstructure of these block copolymers, can result in a step-change improvement in PHA-based material properties. A range of production strategies for PHA-based block copolymers has been reported in the literature, including biological production and chemical synthesis. Biological production is typically less controllable, with products of a broad molecular weight and compositional distribution, unless finely controlled using genetically modified organisms. By contrast, chemical synthesis delivers relatively controllable block structures and narrowly defined compositions. This paper reviews current knowledge in the areas of the production and properties of PHA-based block copolymers, and highlights knowledge gaps and future potential areas of research.

Abstract
A great research effort is involved in polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) production and characterization since they are an attractive degradable polyester family that potentially could substitute oil-based polymers. This is due to two main key factors: their production is sustainable, being that they are produced by microorganisms possibly fed by organic waste-derived products, and they are degradable. Moreover, PHAs' thermal and mechanical properties could be tuned by varying their monomeric composition through the proper selection of microorganism feedstock and bioreactor operative conditions. Hence, a rapid and facile determination of the PHA chemical structure by widely available instrumentation is useful. As an alternative to the standard gas-chromatographic method, a new procedure for the composition determination of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (P3HBV), the most common PHA copolymer, by attenuated total reflection FTIR (ATR-FTIR) is presented. It is based on the linear dependence of selected and normalized absorption band intensity with the molar fraction of repeating units. To break free from the crystallinity variability, which affects the result reproducibility and data scattering, the polymer sample was rapidly quenched from the melt directly on the surface of the ATR internal reflection element and analyzed. The data obtained from 14 samples with a molar fraction of 3-hydroxybutyrate repeating units (X3HB) ranging from 0.15 to 1 were analyzed. According to preliminary analyses, the normalized intensity of two absorption bands was selected to develop a calibration method able to predict X3HB of unknown samples and to evaluate the related uncertainty through prediction intervals of inverse regression. The proposed method proves to be useful for an easy and rapid estimation of P3HBV composition.

Abstract
Rapeseed meal (RSM) hydrolysate is a potential low-cost feedstock for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by the archaea, Haloferax mediterranei. Acidic and enzymatic hydrolysis were carried out to compare effectiveness. Enzymatic hydrolysis is more effective than acidic hydrolysis for fermentation substrate leading to increased PHA productivity. H. mediterranei didn't grow or produce PHA when acid hydrolysed RSM medium was present in proportions greater than 25% (vol.), potentially due to the effect of inhibitors such as furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), etc. However, H. mediterranei was able to grow and produce PHA when using enzymatically hydrolysed RSM medium. The maximum PHA concentration of 0.512 g/L was found at 75% (vol.) in enzymatic RSM hydrolysate medium. The biopolymer obtained had improved thermal and mechanical properties compared to PHB homopolymer. RSM's potential as a low-cost alternative feedstock for improved PHA production under non-sterile conditions was successfully demonstrated, and its usage should be further explored.

Abstract
The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures is approximately 50 per 100,000 people. ACL rupture repair methods that offer better biomechanics have the potential to reduce long term osteoarthritis. To improve ACL regeneration biomechanically similar, biocompatible and biodegradable tissue scaffolds are required. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), with high 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) content, based scaffold materials have been developed, with the advantages of traditional tissue engineering scaffolds combined with attractive mechanical properties, e.g., elasticity and biodegradability. PHBV with 3HV fractions of 0 to 100 mol% were produced in a controlled manner allowing specific compositions to be targeted, giving control over material properties. In conjunction electrospinning conditions were altered, to manipulate the degree of fibre alignment, with increasing collector rotating speed used to obtain random and aligned PHBV fibres. The PHBV based materials produced were characterised, with mechanical properties, thermal properties and surface morphology being studied. An electrospun PHBV fibre mat with 50 mol% 3HV content shows a significant increase in elasticity compared to those with lower 3HV content and could be fabricated into aligned fibres. Biocompatibility testing with L929 fibroblasts demonstrates good cell viability, with the aligned fibre network promoting fibroblast alignment in the axial fibre direction, desirable for ACL repair applications. Dynamic load testing shows that the 50 mol% 3HV PHBV material produced can withstand cyclic loading with reasonable resilience. Electrospun PHBV can be produced with low batch variability and tailored, application specific properties, giving these biomaterials promise in tissue scaffold applications where aligned fibre networks are desired, such as ACL regeneration. .

Abstract

Biodegradable polymeric
biomaterials offer a significant advantage
in disposable or fast-consuming products in medical applications.
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)
is an example of a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), i.e., one group of
natural polyesters that are byproducts of reactions taking place in
microorganisms in conditions with an excess carbon source. PHA polymers
are a promising material for the production of everyday materials
and biomedical applications. Due to the high number of monomers in
the group, PHAs permit modifications enabling the production of copolymers
of different compositions and with different proportions of individual
monomers. In order to change and improve the properties of polymer
fibers, PHAs are combined with either other natural and synthetic
polymers or additives of inorganic phases. Importantly, electrospun
PHBV fibers and mats showed an enormous potential in both the medical
field (tissue engineering scaffolds, plasters, wound healing, drug
delivery systems) and industrial applications (filter systems, food
packaging). This Review summarizes the current state of the art in
processing PHBV, especially by electrospinning, its degradation processes,
and biocompatibility studies, starting from a general introduction
to the PHA group of polymers.

Abstract
In the present study, three different newly developed copolymers of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) with 20, 40, and 60 mol % contents in 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) were produced by the biotechnological process of mixed microbial cultures (MMCs) using cheese whey (CW), a by-product from the dairy industry, as feedstock. The CW-derived PHBV copolyesters were first purified and then processed by solution electrospinning, yielding fibers of approximately 2 μm in cross-section in all cases. The resultant electrospun PHBV mats were, thereafter, post-processed by annealing at different temperatures, below their maximum of melting, selected according to their 3HV content in order to obtain continuous films based on coalesced fibers, so-called biopapers. The resultant PHBV films were characterized in terms of their morphology, crystallinity, and mechanical and barrier properties to assess their potential application in food packaging. The CW-derived PHBV biopapers showed high contact transparency but a slightly yellow color. The fibers of the 20 mol % 3HV copolymer were seen to contain mostly poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) crystals, the fibers of the 40 mol % 3HV copolymer a mixture of PHB and poly(3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHV) crystals and lowest crystallinity, and the fibers of the 60 mol % 3HV sample were mostly made of PHV crystals. To understand the interfiber coalesce process undergone by the materials during annealing, the crystalline morphology was also assessed by variable-temperature both combined small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering synchrotron and Fourier transform infrared experiments. From these experiments and, different from previously reported biopapers with lower 3HV contents, all samples were inferred to have a surface energy reduction mechanism for interfiber coalescence during annealing, which is thought to be activated by a temperature-induced decrease in molecular order. Due to their reduced crystallinity and molecular order, the CW-derived PHBV biopapers, especially the 40 mol % 3HV sample, were found to be more ductile and tougher. In terms of barrier properties, the three copolymers performed similarly to water and limonene, but to oxygen, the 40 mol % sample showed the highest relative permeability. Overall, the materials developed, which are compatible with the Circular Bioeconomy organic recycling strategy, can have an excellent potential as barrier interlayers or coatings of application interest in food packaging.

Abstract
In the present study, for the first time the evolution of tensile mechanical properties of different poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolymers (PHBV8 and PHBV12, with 8 mol% and 12 mol% of HV co-units, respectively) as a function of the storage time at room temperature has been investigated in parallel with the quantification of the crystalline, mobile amorphous, and rigid amorphous fractions. A comparison with the evolution of the crystalline and amorphous fractions in the homopolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was also performed. For all the samples, the crystallinity was found to slightly increase during storage. In parallel, the mobile amorphous fraction (MAF) decreased markedly, with the result that a relevant increase in the rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) was detected. The RAF content in the copolymers was lower than that of PHB. For all the samples, the RAF formation during aging was ascribed to the growth of secondary crystals in geometrically restricted areas. It was demonstrated that the storage at T room leads in PHB, PHBV8, and PHBV12 to a progressive increase in the total solid fraction (crystal phase + rigid amorphous fraction) and to a simultaneous physical aging of the rigid amorphous fraction. The two different processes cannot be separated and distinguished, so that only the resulting effect on the mechanical properties was considered. The experimental elastic modulus of both PHBV8 and PHBV12 was found to increase regularly with the total solid fraction, as well as the tensile strength. Conversely, the elongation at break turned out to be an increasing function of the mobile amorphous fraction. The elastic moduli of the crystalline, mobile amorphous, and rigid amorphous fractions of PHBV8 and PHBV12 were estimated by means of a three-phase modified Takayanagi's model, to take into account also the contribution of the rigid amorphous fraction. The calculated values were found in agreement with theoretical expectations.

Abstract
A microbial production process was developed to convert CO2 and valeric acid into tailored poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) bioplastics. The aim was to understand microbial PHBV production in mixotrophic conditions and to control the monomer distribution in the polymer. Continuous sparging of CO2 with pulse and pH-stat feeding of valeric acid were evaluated to produce PHBV copolyesters with predefined properties. The desired random monomer distribution was obtained by limiting the valeric acid concentration (below 1 gL-1). 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and chromatographic analysis of the PHBV copolymer confirmed both the monomer distribution and the 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) fraction in the produced PHBV. A physical-based model was developed for mixotrophic PHBV production, which was calibrated and validated with independent experimental datasets. To produce PHBV with a predefined 3HV fraction, an operating diagram was constructed. This tool was able to predict the 3HV fraction with a very good accuracy (2% deviation).

Abstract
Polyhydroxybutyrate- co-hydroxyvalerate has been identified as a useful polymer for biomedical application due to its biocompatibility and processability. Polyhydroxybutyrate- co-hydroxyvalerate nanoparticles loaded with quercetin, an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral polyphenol with limited solubility, were obtained using a high-speed double-emulsion technique. The nanoparticle size and the dissolution of quercetin were controlled simultaneously through high-speed stirring (15,000 r/min) in the emulsification process. The size range of quercetin-loaded polyhydroxybutyrate- co-hydroxyvalerate nanoparticles was between 250 and 650 nm. Spherical shape with no aggregation of nanoparticles was confirmed by electron microscopy. Loaded nanoparticles showed less thermal degradation than unloaded nanoparticles. An encapsulation efficiency of 51% was found. Most of the quercetin was released from the nanoparticles within the first 5 h of water immersion. A biocompatibility analysis of the nanoparticles showed no cytotoxicity and no significant difference between loaded and unloaded nanoparticles.

Abstract
This study investigated the potential of a propionate-fed PHAs accumulating sludge, which was submitted to aerobic dynamic feeding (ADF) condition, for producing poly (3-hydroxybutyrate/3-hydroxyvalerate), P(HB/HV). Results of batch P(HB/HV) production tests indicated that propionate-ADF sludge with propionate or valerate exhibited better PHAs production performance than with acetate in terms of kinetics and stoichiometry. However, acetate-ADF sludge obtained a superior PHAs production capability from acetate than from propionate. Choice of carbon source for PHAs production therefore relied significantly on the cultivating substrate of PHAs accumulating sludge. Furthermore, mixture of acetate and valerate in molar ratio of 50:50 achieved higher P(HB/HV) content than in molar ratio of 75:25, and obtained a P(HB/HV) copolymer with optimum HV fraction of 45 mol%. The above findings propose that elevating the applicability of P(HB/HV) production require simultaneously two conditions: cultivating a propionate-fed sludge and providing the sludge with mixture of odd- and even-number carbon sources.

Abstract
The mechanical properties, such as Young's modulus, yield strength, and the elongation at breakage, were investigated for several sulfur-containing biopolymers P(3HB-co-3MP). A series of P(3HB-co-3MP) samples with 3MP unit content ranging from 6.6 to 39.1 mol-% was biosynthesized by fermentation using the PHA-synthesizing bacteria Cupriavidus necator. For comparison, the bacterially synthesized P(3HB) and P(3HB-co-3HP) with the 3HP unit content ranging from 13.1 to 21.1 mol-% were also investigated. It was found that the sulfur-containing P(3HB-co-3MP) is much more durable to stretching. Notably, P(3HB-co-3MP) with the 3MP unit content of only 6.6 mol-% was found to show excellent mechanical properties.

Abstract
A series of P(3HB-co-3MP)s with different 3MP unit content was biosynthesized by the fermentation of W. eutropha in a medium containing sodium gluconate and DTDP as carbon sources at different pH conditions ranging from pH 6.0 to 8.0. The P(3HB-co-3MP) samples were fractioned using the solvent/nonsolvent mixed solvent chloroform/heptane and the comonomer unit composition was investigated. It was found that W. eutropha produces P(3HB-co-3MP)s with extremely different 3MP unit content ranging from 3.6 to 70.0 mol-%, depending on the pH value of the fermentation medium. The copolyester samples produced in mild basic medium have a considerably narrower compositional distribution than the samples from acidic medium. The highest polymer yield was obtained at pH 8.0.DSC diagram for P(3HB-co-3MP)s biosynthesized in different pH medium.

Abstract
The microstructure of bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolyesters (PHBV) as well as a mixture of two PHBV copolyesters of different comonomer composition and sequence distribution was studied by 13C NMR based on dyad and triad analysis and multistage electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn). Both techniques gave results that were in good agreement for all investigated samples. The effect of microstructure on PHBV thermal properties was investigated from the melting behavior of samples. A PHBV copolyester with randomly distributed hydroxyvalerate units (12.0 mol % HV) showed a single melting peak, whereas samples with nonrandom composition distribution showed multiple melting peaks in their thermograms. Such complex melting behavior suggested that the 12.9 and 27.1 mol % PHBV copolyesters were actually blends of several copolymers with widely different comonomer-unit composition.

Abstract
The comonomer-unit compositional distributions have been investigated for bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HH)] samples with 3HH unit content of 13.8, 18.0, 22.0, and 54.0 mol %. They were comonomer compositionally fractionated using chloroform/n-heptane mixed solvent at ambient temperature. The fractionation of P(3HB-co-18.0 mol %3HH) and P(3HB-co-22.0 mol % 3HH), which could not be carried out effectively at room temperature, were refractionated at 70 degrees C in the mixed solvent. Fractions with different 3HH unit content in a wide range (from 4.4 to 80.7 mol %) were obtained. By use of these fractions with narrow compositional distribution, the comonomer composition dependence of thermal properties was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The melting point (T(m)) and heat of fusion (DeltaH) decreased as the 3HH unit content increased in the range of low 3HH content (<40 mol %), while they increased as the 3HH unit content increased in the high 3HH content range (>70 mol %). The minimum T(m) and DeltaH values were found to exist at 3HH unit content of about 60 mol %. The glass transition temperature (T(g)) decreased linearly with the increase of 3HH unit content. The values of T(m), DeltaH, and T(g) of P(3HB-co-3HH)s were compared with those of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxypropionate), and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate), and the effects of comonomer types on the thermal properties were revealed.

Abstract
Enzymatic degradability has been investigated for a series of bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxypropionate)s (P(3HB-co-3HP)s) with 3-hydroxypropionate (3HP) unit contents from 11 to 86 mol % as well as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) and chemosynthesized poly(3-hydroxypropionate) (P(3HP)). The behavior of degradation by two types of extracellular poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) depolymerases purified from Ralstonia pikettii T1 and Acidovorax Sp. TP4, defined respectively as PHA depolymerase types I and II according to the position of the lipase box in the catalytic domain, were compared in relation to the thermal properties and crystalline structures of the PHA samples elucidated by differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. The degradation products were characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography and one- (1D) and two-dimension (2D) (1)H NMR spectroscopy. It was found that the PHA depolymerase of Acidovorax Sp. TP4 showed degradation behavior different from that shown by depolymerase of R. pikettii T1. PHA depolymerase from Acidovorax Sp. TP4 degraded the P(3HB-co-3HP) films with lower crystallinity in higher rates than those with higher crystallinity, no matter what kinds of crystalline structures they formed. In contrast, PHA depolymerase from R. pikettii T1 degraded P(3HB-co-3HP) films forming P(3HB) crystalline structure in higher rates than those forming P(3HP)s. The increase in amorphous nature of the P(3HB-co-3HP) films with P(3HB)-homopolymer-like crystalline structure increases and then decreases the rate of degradation by depolymerase from R. pikettii T1. The 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) monomer was produced as a major product by the hydrolysis of P(3HB) film by PHA depolymerase from Acidovorax Sp. TP4. The P(3HB-co-3HP) films could be degraded into 3HB and 3-hydroxypropionate (3HP) monomer at last, indicating that the catalytic domain of the enzyme recognized at least two monomeric units as substrates. While the PHA depolymerase from R. pikettii T1 hydrolyzed P(3HB) film into 3HB dimer as a major product, and the catalytic domain recognized at least three monomeric units. The degradation behavior of P(3HB-co-3HP) films by the PHA depolymerase of Acidovorax Sp. TP4 could be distinguished from that by the depolymerase of R. pikettii T1.
