  abstract    = {The microstructure of bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolyesters (PHBV) as well as a mixture of two PHBV copolyesters of different comonomer composition and sequence distribution was studied by 13C NMR based on dyad and triad analysis and multistage electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn). Both techniques gave results that were in good agreement for all investigated samples. The effect of microstructure on PHBV thermal properties was investigated from the melting behavior of samples. A PHBV copolyester with randomly distributed hydroxyvalerate units (12.0 mol \% HV) showed a single melting peak, whereas samples with nonrandom composition distribution showed multiple melting peaks in their thermograms. Such complex melting behavior suggested that the 12.9 and 27.1 mol \% PHBV copolyesters were actually blends of several copolymers with widely different comonomer-unit composition.},
