FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention is in the technical field of plastic materials. More specifically, the present invention is in the field of plastic filaments. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Plastic filaments, which are generally defined as threads of plastic, are used to manufacture a wide range of products including, but not limited to, stranded ropes, tooth brush bristles, fabric materials and plastic ties. Plastic filaments are also widely used as feedstocks for three dimensional (3D) printers, and the types of plastics most widely used for this application are typically acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA). ABS is a synthetic copolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of butadiene. PLA is a synthetic biopolymer that is typically manufactured from renewable resources such as corn starch and sugar cane. [0004] ABS filaments for 3D printing are generally preferred for printing materials intended to have mechanical uses due to its superior strength, flexibility, machinability and temperature resistance. A significant drawback to ABS is that unpleasant and hazardous odors are produced as it is extruded. It has been shown that ultrafine particulate fumes are produced at a level that is ten times higher when ABS filaments are used in 3D printers than for PLA-based filaments (Stephens et al. 2013. Ultrafine particle emissions from desktop 3D printing. Atmospheric Environment. 79:334-339). PLA filaments are generally available in a wider range of colors and translucencies, which makes them attractive for printing materials intended for display purposes or household uses. However, while PLA meets the ASTM D6400 standard for compostability, which requires that 60% conversion of the plastic's carbon is reduced to carbon dioxide within 6 months, it will only biodegrade quickly if composted in an industrial composting facility configured to heat the material above 60 °C with constant feeding of digestive microbes. PLA does not decompose at an effective rate in simple composting systems. [0005] While past technologies may be effective to a certain degree in providing biodegradable polymer filaments, it remains desirable to provide improved biodegradable polymer filaments with enhanced biodegradability to address the various requirements and improve the safety profile of such filaments. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] One aspect of the present invention is a process for manufacturing a biodegradable polymer filament product, the process comprising: a. isolating polyhydroxyalkanoate from a bacterial culture; b. optionally bleaching the polyhydroxyalkanoate; c . dispersing the polyhydroxyalkanoate in a surfactant solution to form a dispersion; d . drying the dispersion to obtain dried polyhydroxyalkanoate particles; e. mixing the polyhydroxyalkanoate with a plurality of components including a toughening agent, a plasticizer, a nucleating agent, an antioxidant and an adhesive; f. extruding the mixture as a filament; and g . winding the filament onto a spool. [0007] In certain embodiments, the polyhydroxyalkanoate is poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), poly(3-hydroxyvalerate), poly(4-hydroxybutyrate), poly-3-hydroxyhexanoate, poly-3- hydroxyoctanoate, poly-3-hydroxyoctanoatepoly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-co-valerate, poly(3- hydroxynonanoate-co-3-hydroxyheptanoate), poly(3-hydroxynonanoate-co-3- hydroxyheptanoate, poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate), poly(3- hydroxynonanoate-co-3-hydroxyheptanoate-co-3-hydroxynonenoate-co-3- hydroxyundecenoate, poly(3-hydroxynonanoate-co-3-hydroxyheptanoate-co-3- hydroxynonenoate-co-3-hydroxyundecenoate), poly(3-hydroxynonanoate-co-3- hydroxyheptanoate-co-3-hydroxynonenoate-co-3-hydroxyundecenoate), poly(3- hydroxbutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), or poly(3-hydroxbuyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate).

[0013] In certain embodiments, the bleaching of the polyhydroxyalkanoate is not optional and is performed using hydrogen peroxide. [0014] In certain embodiments, the drying step is performed by spray-drying. [0015] In certain embodiments, the dried polyhydroxyalkanoate particles have an average diameter from about 150 to about 250 micrometers.

  • Colour, Pigments and Dyes Science, Art & Nature
    COLOUR, PIGMENTS AND DYES SCIENCE, ART & NATURE Ken Derham Halesworth U3A Science Group, April 2019 WHAT IS COLOUR? • Colour is a characteristic of human visual perception. • This perception of colour derives from the stimulation of cone cells in the human eye by electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. Wikipedia VISIBLE LIGHT A triangular prism dispersing a beam of white light. The longer wavelengths (red) and the shorter wavelengths (blue) are separated. Wikipedia Violet light - Shorter wavelength, higher frequency has higher energy E = h v (Planck’s equation) WHY DO OBJECTS APPEAR COLOURED? Objects appear different colours because they absorb some colours (wavelengths) and reflected or transmit other colours. The colours we see are the wavelengths that are reflected or transmitted. White objects appear white because they reflect all colours. Black objects absorb all colours so no light is reflected. TRANSMITTED LIGHT PRIMARY COLOURS: ADDITIVE MIXING OF LIGHT • Mix Red, Green, and Blue light, you get white light. • Red, green, and blue (RGB) are referred to as the primary colours of light. • Mixing the colours generates new colours, as shown on the colour wheel. This is additive colour. • As more colours are added, the result becomes lighter, heading towards white. • RGB is used to generate colour on a computer screen, a TV, and other electronic displays. PRIMARY COLOURS: SUBTRACTIVE MIXING OF PIGMENTS • Mixing colours using paint, or ink, uses subtractive colour mixing. • The primary colours of light are red, green, and blue. • If you subtract these from white you get cyan, magenta, and yellow. • Mixing the colours generates new colours as shown on the colour wheel.
