- A Ethylene glycol and phthalic acid
- B Caprolactum and 1, 3-butadiene
- C Phenol and formaldehyde
- D 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and 3-hydroxypentanoic acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and 3-hydroxypentanoic acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
PHBV is a biodegradable polymer that belongs
to the family of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). It is composed of two monomeric units i.e. 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and 3-hydroxypentanoic acid.
