Domination topological properties of polyhydroxybutyrate and polycaprolactone with QSPR analysis

Abstract

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolymers, which are stored inside cells as energy storage materials by various microorganisms. PHAs are plastic materials that have a positive environmental impact when compared to regular plastics in terms of production methods and recyclabillity. In addition, PHAs are characterized by biocompatibility, biodegradability and thus have a wide range of applications such as biomedicine, surgery, etc. The most common PHAs are Polyhydroxybutyrate, Polyhydroxyvalerate, and copolymer. In this paper, we calculate the domination topological indices of these polymers; also, we discuss the quantitative structure property relationships (QSPR) analysis of these domination topological indices. Further, we show that the characteristics have a good correlation with the physico-chemical characteristics of polymers.
