Physicochemical characteristics of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) electrospun nanofibres for the adsorption of phenol

In this study, adsorption treatment of phenol pollutant using electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] is highlighted for the first time. Both P(3HB) and P(3HB-co-3HHx) were extracted from bacterial cells and nanofibres were fabr...
