Films of Poly (L - Lactic Acid) / Poly(Hydroxybutyrate-Co-Hydroxyvalerate) Blends: In vitro Degradation
Biocompatible and biodegradable polymers have been studied in the last few years with good clinical success in the fixation and stabilization of bone fractures. The understanding and the control of the polymeric prosthetic degradation process and the effect of its degradation products in the organism are crucial for the success of the implant. In this present work, blends of PLLA/PHBV, obtained...
متن کاملMicrobial degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) in soils.
The microbial degradation of tensile test pieces made of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] or a copolymer of 90% 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 10% 3-hydroxyvaleric acid was studied in soils incubated at a constant temperature of 15, 28, or 40 degrees C for up to 200 days. In addition, hydrolytic degradation in sterile buffer at temperatures ranging from 4 to 55 degrees C was monitored for 98 days. D...
متن کاملFabrication of Collagen-Coated Poly (beta-hydroxy butyrate-co-beta-hydroxyvalerate) Nanofiber by Chemical and Physical Methods
Tissue engineering is the design and engineering of structures to rebuild and repair damaged tissue of the body. Poly (beta-hydroxybutyrate-co-beta-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) scaffold has shown good biocompatibility and biodegradable properties. Nanofibers have improved the performance of biomaterials, and could be considered effective. Electro spinning is one of the most important methods of fabr...
متن کاملA Semiempirical Model for Predicting Biodegradation Profiles of Individual Polymers in Starch–Poly- (b-hydroxybutyrate-co-b-hydroxyvalerate) Bioplastic
Plastic prepared from formulations of cornstarch and poly(b-hydroxybutyrate-co-b-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biodegraded in tropical coastal waters. Biodegradation was monitored for 1 year. Starch—PHBV bioplastic appeared to lose weight in two overlapping phases until both biopolymers were entirely consumed. To examine the underlying degradation of starch and PHBV from biphasic weight-loss profiles...
متن کاملProduction and characterization of biodegradable terpolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) by Alcaligenes sp. A-04.
The production of the terpolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate), P(3HB-co-3HV-co-4HB), by Alcaligenes sp. A-04 was investigated to determine the superior biodegradable polymer properties over those of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), P(3HB), and its copolymers. The highest terpolymer content of 68% (w/w) was produced by Alcaligenes sp. A-04 at 60 h by shake-flask cult...
