BRANCHED POLYHYDROXYALKANOATE POLYMER SALT ELECTROLYTIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHOD OF PREPARATION.

摘要

Compositions and method for providing a solid conductive electrolyte composition containing a [polyhydroxyalkanoate] poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) and a salt of a conductive metal are described. The PHA is a biodegradable and biocompatible and provides a basis for batteries which are more environmentally degradable. Naturally occurring polymers including polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxyvalerate (PHV) can be used to prepare the compositions.
