Applications of Poly-3-Hydroxybutyrate Based Composite

Increase in global population lead to the increase in the usage of non-biodegradable plastics and this excess usage lead to societal as well as environmental concerns. Several attempts are reported for the disposal of these via recycling, burning or land filling. None of these strategies provide an ideal solution. Hence, an alternative strategy is usage of biodegradable polymers. Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate represents bioplastics synthesized by bacteria which serves as energy and carbon storage compound which can be mobilized and used when there is a limitation of carbon. Microbes produce these polymers when supplemented with excess carbon source and limitations of nutrients like nitrogen or phosphorous. This chapter discusses the importance and applications of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate based composites in diverse fields like agriculture, food packaging, medicine, industry, nanotechnology, other miscellaneous applications as well as conclusion and future perspectives.
