Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a semicrystalline polymer that is fully biodegradable and biocompatible, is obtained from renewable resources. From a sustainability perspective, PHB offers many attractive properties though it is more expensive to produce than standard plastics. The accompanying data on melting point (°C) for each of 12 specimens of the polymer using a differential scanning calorimeter appeared in an article.

180.6 181.7 180.8 181.5 182.6 181.6 181.2 182.1 182.2 180.4 181.8 180.4

Compute the following. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(a) the sample range

(b) the sample variance s^2 from the definition [Hint: First subtract 180 from each observation.]

(c) the sample standard deviation

(d) s^2 using the shortcut method

Describe one application where a biodegradable polymer has been used, and contrast this to an application where a biostable polymer has been used. Your answer should be a comprehensive account of each application, with diagrams if appropriate, with a specific focus on the characteristics, of the relevant polymer category, that make them suitable for the application.
