摘要 |
This invention relates to a process for producing oriented polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) that requires less stringent temperature control than previous processes. The process comprises melting the PHA, shaping preform from the melted PHA, stretching the preform a first time in at least one direction, and stretching the preform a second time. In one embodiment, the preform is cooled prior to stretching a second time. In another embodiment, the PHA is laminated with a polymer.
