BIOPOL Biopol is a biopolymer that is an environmentally friendly biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources (made naturally in plants from starch and glucose). Biopol is the brand name for a group of biopolymers often called PHAs or PHBs. The continual use of petroleum to make polymers for plastic will eventually run out and hence Biopol was introduced as a polymer replacement for petroleum. It is made from an organic substance known as Alcaligenes eutrophus which is a microorganism.

BIOPOL. Biopol‚ commonly known as PHA is a member of a family of environmentally friendly performance plastics made from renewable sources. They are biodegradable and can be processed into molded goods which are useful in numerous applications for example water resistant coatings. If we continue to use petroleum to make polymers for plastic etc‚ we will eventually run out therefore Biopol has been introduced as a replacement polymer for petroleum. Biopol is made from a biological substance which

* Biopol is a copolymer of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxyvalerate (PHV) to form PHBV. PRODUCTION: * Enzyme used in synthesis is Ralstonia eutrohpus * Biopol is produced industrially‚ using the fermentation of sugar by R. eutrohpus that grow in tanks with a carbon-based food source and limited nutrients (P/NO3). It is then separated and purified. * Polymers made from plants have the same structure

Title: Cassava starch as an effective component for Ideal Biodegradable Plastic Proponent: Zhaira Morysette L. Maco‚ III-Narra student Introduction: Inventions have evolved and continue to evolve such that after several years of study‚ research and experimentation reach great developments. With continuing efforts to investigate the constituents of Philippine plants‚ we have pursued investigation of starch of the cassava plant (Manihot esculenta). Cassava tubers were gathered‚ ground and squeezed

1.1 BACKGROUND Every activity in modern life is influenced by plastics and many depend entirely on plastic products due to their useful material properties and low production costs. Almost every product is constituted of some kind of polymer; however‚ traditional synthetic polymers (often called plastics)‚ such as polypropylene and polyethylene‚ are derived from non-renewable petrochemicals and are not readily biodegradable (http://www.plastice.org/ fileadmin/files/Brochure_teachers.pdf). The need

ABSTRACT For many years‚ the use of natural polymers for the fabrication of packaging materials has been an interesting alternative to replace non-biodegradable polymers which are normal components of these materials. The core problem of these starch based plastics is their hydrophilic character and the fact that they tend to become brittle with ageing. Unmodified starch is too much hydrophilic to be used as food packaging material. Chemical modification must be carried out in order to make them
