Potential of Biodegradable Polyhydroxyalkanoates for the Construction of Sustainable Polymer Composite Materials
The article presents the results of a study of constructed composites based on degradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) filled with plant materials of 30, 50, and 70% of different origin—wood flour (WF) from birch (Betula pendula), hemp hurds (HH) or hemp fiber (HF) (Cannabis sativa). Composite bar samples were obtained by hot pressing homogeneous mixtures of polymer and fillers at 170 °C and a specific pressure of 6.13 MPa. The influence of the filler type and the polymer/filler ratio on the temperature characteristics of the samples, density, microstructure, surface properties, water absorption, physical and mechanical properties, and degradability in soil was determined. The Young’s modulus of the samples ranged from 2640 to 3715 MPa, depending on the composition. The maximum degradation of the composites after 120 days of exposure to soil was recorded at 70% WF, HH, or HF filling, amounting to 77.4, 63.5, and 38.6%, respectively. Perspective biodegradable composites based on P(3HB) filled with various plant-based fillers were obtained and characterized, along with new knowledge about their properties, the lack of which currently hinders the active development and commercialization of such in-demand materials.

Synthesis and Properties of Degradable Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-co-3HV)] Derived from Waste Fish Oil
The article presents the results of the first successful synthesis of degradable microbial copolymers of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate [P(3HB-co-3HV)] by the wild-type strain C. necator B-10646 using waste fish oil (WFO) obtained from the heads of Sprattus sprattus balticus. Samples of copolymers with 3HV monomer contents from 11.9 to 59.7 mol.% were synthesized with fractional and controlled feeding of potassium valerate, a precursor of 3HV monomers, into the bacterial culture. Samples synthesized on WFO with different contents of 3HV monomers had a reduced degree of crystallinity (36.5% and below), and close average molecular weight (390–573 kDa), with polydispersity of 2.6–3.0, and retained thermal stability, with a gap between the melting point and the thermal degradation temperature of over 100 °C. The thermal behavior of the samples, including the kinetics of exothermic crystallization and spherulite formation, was studied. Demonstrating the possibility of using WFO for the effective synthesis of P(3HB-co-3HV) with macroinclusions of 3HV monomers without deterioration of their properties is important for expanding the raw material base, reducing costs and increasing the availability of these promising bioplastics.
