The molar content of the 4-hydroxybutyrate in the P34HB is 8-15%.
P34HB is a polymer material formed by copolymerizing 3-hydroxybutyrate and 4-hydroxybutyrate, and the structural general formula is shown as follows:
The monomer 3HB has a regular crystal structure and high brittleness, and gives the material rigidity, while the monomer 4HB has rubber-like properties, and since the fiber-forming polymer is a semi-crystalline material, the crystallization property of the material gives the fiber that is aligned and crystallized in the orientation direction of the polymer so as to maintain the fiber strength, the fiber-forming polymer also has crystallinity. As the molar content of 4HB increases, the regularity of 3HB is destroyed, and the steric hindrance of molecules is reduced, and the segment mobility is enhanced, so that crystallization properties are deteriorated, so that the present invention selects an appropriate molar content of 4HB to prepare a fiber having good properties.
