Formulation and Evaluation of Biobased and Biodegradable Plastics for Agricultural Mulch Film Applications
EF 2019-20 · 2019-07-01
Résumé
TerraVerdae Bioworks (TVB) is an advanced biomaterials company whose technology is based on the use of biobased and biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). TVB has demonstrated the large scale production of PHA and is now focused on development of PHA biopolymer products.
This project will develop biodegradable polymer and composite formulations with enhanced mechanical properties and functionality required for high valued applications. This will include development of PHA-based plastics that have controlled biodegradability, such as agricultural mulch films, where field applied films provide moisture conservation and weed barrier properties during the growing season and then degrade in place by the following spring.

Description (French)
TerraVerdae Bioworks (TVB) est une entreprise de biomatériaux de pointe dont la technologie repose sur l'utilisation de polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHA) biobasés et biodégradables. TVB a démontré la production à grande échelle de PHA et se concentre maintenant sur le développement de produits biopolymères de PHA. Ce projet permettra de développer des formulations de polymères et de composites biodégradables ayant des propriétés mécaniques et des fonctionnalités améliorées requises pour des applications de grande valeur. Il s'agira notamment de développer des plastiques à base de PHA dont la biodégradabilité est contrôlée, comme les films de paillage agricole, où les films appliqués sur le terrain conservent l'humidité et empêchent la prolifération des mauvaises herbes pendant la saison de croissance, puis se dégradent en place dès le printemps suivant.
