| Remarks | This copolymer of hyroxybutyrate and hydroxyvalerate is the most widely industrially produced PHA. It is based on renewable biomaterials like glucose, sucrose or starch. The material shows piezo-electric properties, is stable in hot and cold water and alcohols. Not or weak resistant to acids and alkalines. | |

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
