چکیده
Plastics are a ubiquitous part of modern life. They can be modified to meet the demands of almost any conceivable application1. While plastic is extremely useful and has been very important in the development of society since the beginning of the 20th century, it also presents a problem. It is estimated that 25 Mt of plastic waste was generated in the European Union in 2008. As much as 49 % of this waste ended up in landfill sites2. Plastic persists in the environment3 and plastics buried in landfills can leach harmful chemicals into groundwater4. Almost all plastics currently in use are produced using petrochemicals derived from fossil oil and gas. It is Plant Oils and Products of Their Hydrolysis as Substrates for Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthesis

Synthesis of YSZ nanopowder by alkoxide sol-gel method, through two different hydrolysis routes, one under careful control by using acetyacetone as ligand, and the other through basic hydrolysis, was investigated. The synthesized powders were characterized by various analytical techniques such as, XRD, STA, PSA, BET, SEM, and TEM. The results showed that, the YSZ powders prepared through the ba...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymers from mixtures of plant oils and 3-hydroxyvalerate precursors.
The combination of plant oils and 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) precursors were evaluated for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymers containing 3HV monomers by Cupriavidus necator H16. Among various mixtures of plant oils and 3HV-precursors, the mixture of palm kernel oil and sodium propionate was suitable for the biosynthesis of high concentration of PHA (6.8gL(-1)) containing 7mo...
