POLY- beta -HYDROXYALKANOATES FOR USE IN FIBRE CONSTRUCTS AND FILMS

摘要

A latex comprises a colloidal suspension in water of essentially non-crystalline particles of a polymer or copolymer or beta -hydroxyalkanoates, for example beta -hydroxybutyrate and beta -hydroxyvalerate; the latex may be employed to produce self-supporting films or papers which are biodegradable and also readily recyclable.
