| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to develop the chemical recycling system of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) by integrating pyrolysis and enzymatic or microbial synthesis of PHA. The major product obtained from pyrolysis of PHA, alkenoic acids, is the key material of this recycling system. We demonstrated that alkenoic acids are able to be re-synthesized to original PHA.
