Excellent- More about The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Three Volume Set
The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a three-volume set that focuses on biosynthesis, processing, and applications of PHA, a microbial bioplastic. It covers feedstock aspects, enzymology, metabolism, genetic engineering, thermodynamic and mathematical considerations, bioengineering, economics, industrial-scale production, functionalized PHA, composites, and sustainability. The handbook is aimed at professionals and graduate students in the polymer industry, wastewater treatment plants, food industry, biodiesel industry, and others interested in learning about PHA and its potential applications.

The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a comprehensive three-volume resource that delves into diverse aspects of PHA biosynthesis and processing. Volume 1 explores the fundamentals of feedstock, enzymology, metabolism, and genetic engineering, aiming to enhance our understanding of PHA biosynthesis in scientific terms and its potential applications in bio-technological and microstructural contexts. It also discusses strategies to make PHA competitive with established petroleum-based plastics on an industrial scale, addressing challenges and barriers to market penetration.
Volume 2 delves into thermodynamic and mathematical considerations of PHA biosynthesis, focusing on bioengineering aspects such as bioreactor design and downstream processing for PHA recovery from microbial biomass. It covers microbial mixed culture processes and includes a robust industry-focused section covering economics of PHA production, industrial-scale PHA production from sucrose, next-generation industrial biotechnology approaches, and holistic techno-economic and sustainability considerations.
Volume 3 focuses on the production of functionalized PHA bio-polyesters, post-synthetic modification of PHA, processing and additive manufacturing, development and properties of PHA-based (bio)composites and blends, market potential of PHA, and follow-up materials. It encompasses fourteen chapters that explore functionalized PHA, PHA modification, processing, and their applications, including degradation of spent PHA-based products and their fate.
The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and industry professionals seeking to advance the field of PHA biosynthesis and its applications. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the latest research and developments, covering key aspects from feedstock to downstream processing, and paving the way for future advancements in sustainable and renewable materials.
