Use of thiol-ene click chemistry to modify mechanical and thermal properties of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)

In order to diversify the number of applications for poly[(R)-3-hydroxyalkanoates] (PHAs), methods must be developed to alter their physical properties so they are not limited to aliphatic polyesters. Recently we developed Escherichia coli LSBJ as a living biocatalyst with the ability to control …
