Fibrous scaffolds based on biodegradable and biocompatible polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) were produced by electrospinning. The coated a thin solid film of polypyrrole, PPyI, deposited plasma polymerization technique. FTIR Raman spectroscopy results confirm the presence PPyI PHB fibers, in can be show signal NH2 groups characteristic so broad band due to fluorescence from coating. morphology was cha...

In this work, the presence of biodegradable polymers in recycled plastic materials was characterized using readily available techniques. Recycled polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were studied. The contamination these plastics with polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) thermoplastic starch (TPS) simulated 10 wt.% contaminant. Fourier transform ...

Enzyme immobilization provides substantial advantages in terms of improving the efficiency enzymatic process as well enhancing reusability enzymes. Phasins (PhaPs) are naturally occurring polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-binding proteins, and thus can potentially be used a fusion partner for oriented enzymes onto PHA supports. However, presently available granular supports have low surface-area-to-vo...
