We have developed medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) nanoemulsions which are bioderived and biodegradable. The effect of feeding glucose and fatty acids from food waste on the microbial production of mcl-PHAs has been studied to explore the possibility of producing mcl-PHAs from food waste and to tune polymer properties for their applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presentation by Dr Leonie van &#8216;t Hag (Monash University)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":186,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"nba-redirect":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6],"tags":[25,5,18],"class_list":["post-1523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-presentations","tag-food-waste","tag-plastics","tag-soft-plastics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
