## Abstract Poly[(3‐hydroxybutyric acid)‐__co__‐(3‐hydroxyvaleric acid)] (91:9 mass‐%) (P(HB‐co‐9% HV)) film surfaces were modified by an oxygen plasma treatment (75 W, 50 Pa, 5 min). The number of oxygen atoms increases about 12–13% and the polar component of the surface energy increases from 6.3

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
We describe the preparation of telechelic OH‐terminated poly[(R)‐3‐hydroxybutyric acid] (PHB) and poly{[(R)‐3‐hydroxybutyric acid]‐co‐[(R)‐3‐hydroxyvaleric acid]} (PHB/HV), on a semi‐preparative scale, by a transesterification procedure from the high‐molecular weight polymers. The oligomers have well‐defined reactive end groups and are well suited for the preparation of high‐molecular‐weight block copolymers by chain extension.
