The development of biobased and environmental-friendly polymeric materials to replace
petroleum-based plastics is one of the main global challenges nowadays. Among …

In the last decades, much research has been done to fasten wound healing and target-direct
drug delivery. Hydrogel-based scaffolds have been a recurrent solution in both cases, with …

During the last decades, the increasing ecology in the reduction of environmental impact
caused by traditional plastics is contributing to the growth of more sustainable plastics with …

In open environment applications, fibers are increasingly being used that are expected to
biodegrade in the soil after their desired service life. Biodegradable polymer fibers are a …

In recent years, a number of microbial enzymes capable of degrading plastics have been
identified. Biocatalytic depolymerization mediated by enzymes has emerged as a potentially …

Poly (3− hydroxybutyrate− co− 3− hydroxyhexanoate)(PHBH) films were prepared using a
cast film technique. Dioxane was chosen over other polymer solvents as it resulted in …

The crystallisation process of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) polymers plays a key role on
final properties of manufactured parts due to most PHA are highly sensitive to physical aging …

Biobased and biocompatible polymers, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), are of great
interest for a large range of applications in the spirit of green chemistry and upcoming reuse …

This study is the first to investigate the recyclability of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-
hydroxyhexanoate)(PHBH), a small chain length PHA, and evaluate the gas barrier …

The rheological and thermal properties of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate)
and chemically modified cellulose nanofiber nanocomposites (PHBH/CNF) were …
