Article Synopsis
- Recent research highlights the potential of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), especially poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB), for creating fine fiber nonwoven structures, with fiber diameters ranging from 2.5 µm to 20 µm through the meltblow process.
- The study identifies limitations in existing PHA fabrics, such as brittleness and low flexibility, but shows how advancements in their processing can lead to stable three-dimensional nonwoven parts.
- It also reveals that the PHA copolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) demonstrates improved elongation properties and resilience compared to P3HB, especially
