Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)is biodegradable polyesters synthesized by numerous bacteria as intracellular carbon and energy storage compounds. Infrared, Raman, and THz spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) studies were carried out to explore crystallization behavior and hudrogen bonding of low molecular weight PHB. Low Molecular weight PHB (Mn= 1000 and 2000) are crystallized without molecular chain folding. It was shown that the crystallization behavior is affected by the presence of a chain folding structure. In the case where the molecular chain is short and does not form a folded structure, the hydrogen bonding becomes a driving force for orienting the molecular chain to form a crystal structure, and when the molecular weight of PHB is larger than 2000-3000, the hydrogen bonding stabilizes the crystal structure.
