Poly(3-hydroxybutanoic acid), a biodegradable polyester, is an insoluble, opaque ma-
terial that is difficult to process into shapes. In contrast, the copolymer of 3-hydroxy-
butanoic acid and 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid is a transparent polymer that shows good
solubility in a number of organic solvents. Explain the difference in properties between
these two polymers in terms of their structure.
