In order to clarify effects of (R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate (HHx) unit on the hydrothermal degradation of poly((R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx), two PHBHHxs: P(HB-co-6%-HHx) and P(HB-co-11%-HHx), and poly((R)-3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) as a reference were treated by superheated stea...
