hey guys...im new here. This is my 1st post!!!...so be nice lol
Ive got some homework task on biopolymers and i chose to do PHB. The homework task relates to syllabus dot pt 2.3.a.
Im quite stuck with the importance of use and i need to have an evaluation of the use of the polymer realted to its properties. I s there anyway you guys could help. Or other ways to get more information because Conquering chemistry's info is pretty brief

Thanx alot guys....

You'll probably find your answers in the first couple of links, but this just shows what you could have dug up if you had used the search tool.

PHB stands for poly-β-hydroxybutanoate, which is a member of the group PHA, which stands for poly-β-hydroxyalkanoate.

It's like butane belongs to the homologous group alkanes.
