Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biodegradable, biocompatible bacterial polyesters with thermoplastic properties. Thus, they constitute an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of plastic of petrochemical origin. PHA include P (3HB-co-3HHx), 3-hydroxyhexanoate copolymerized poly-3-hydroxybutyrate, which has recently been studied as a scaffold or molds in tissue engineering and ot…
