  • Branched polyhydroxyalkanoate polymer salt electrolytic compositions and method of preparation
    Patent number: 5266422
    Abstract: Compositions and method for providing a solid conductive electrolyte composition containing a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and a salt of a conductive metal are described. The PHA is biodegradable and biocompatible and provides a basis for batteries which are more environmentally degradable. Naturally occurring polymers including polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxyvalerate (PHV) can be used to prepare the compositions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 1992
    Date of Patent: November 30, 1993
    Assignee: Board of Trustees operating Michigan State University
    Inventors: Rosetta N. Reusch, William H. Reusch
