摘要

Bio-sourced macromolecules such as cyanophycin are an attractive source for alternative, sustainable plastics. While the chemical structure and biological function of cyanophycin have been previously investigated, its material properties remain largely unexplored. This study investigates the structural, thermal, mechanical, and solution properties of cyanophycin produced from recombinant Escherichia coli. Unplasticized, it has an elastic compression modulus of about 560 MPa and undergoes brittle failure at 78 MPa. Cyanophycin exhibits thermal stability in air up to 200 °C and does not undergo glass transition within its limit of thermal stability. The polypeptide is amorphous and has no long-range ordering in ... More
