Ecofriendly zinc oxide-decorated poly-3-hydroxyalkanoate-graft-poly-methyl acrylate copolymer film for photocatalysis-mediated water treatment
The application of microbiologically produced polymer, i.e., medium-chain-length poly-3-hydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA), in environmental remediation technology was investigated. Mcl-PHA and its graft copolymer, polyhydroxyalkanoate-g-polymethylacrylate (PHA-g-PMA), were used as the supporting matrices t...
