What are the monomers used for preparation of PHBV?

What are the monomers used for preparation of PHBV?

Options

  1. ACellulose xanthate and NaOH.
  2. B1,3-Butadine and styrene
  3. Cβ\beta-Hydroxy butyric acid and β\beta-Hydroxy valeric acid
  4. DEthylene glycol and phthalic acid

Correct answer

C. β\beta-Hydroxy butyric acid and β\beta-Hydroxy valeric acid

Step-by-step solution

PHBV stands for Poly β\beta-hydroxybutyrate-co-β\beta-hydroxyvalerate.

It is a biodegradable copolymer obtained by the copolymerisation of 3-hydroxybutanoic acid (\beta−hydroxybutyricacid)and3−hydroxypentanoicacid(β-hydroxybutyric acid) and 3-hydroxypentanoic acid (\beta-hydroxyvaleric acid).

Answer: β\beta-Hydroxy butyric acid and β\beta-Hydroxy valeric acid
