3D printing for tissue engineering requires biomaterials with mechanical and biological properties suitable both regeneration the process. A filament made of poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) combined 45S5 Bioglass (BG) was used to print scaffolds by fused deposition modeling (FDM). Chemical treatment BG particles chlorotrimethylsilane (CTMS) improved ductility extruded filaments ...

Abstract We compared the performance of bio-based and biodegradable polymers for packaging applications. Cost-effective inorganic fillers (talc, kaolin calcium carbonate) were first melt-compounded with polylactic acid (PLA), poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) poly(hydroxy butyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV). Following this, injection- compression-molded specimens produced to test effect f...

Biopolymers are a promising alternative to petroleum-based plastic raw materials. They bio-based, non-toxic and degradable under environmental conditions. In addition the homopolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), there number of co-polymers that have broad range applications easier process in comparison PHB. The most prominent representative from this group bio-copolymers is poly(3-hydroxybuty...

The aims of this study were to assess the large-scale extraction and recovery poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biosynthesized by mixed microbial consortia (MMC) that was fed fermented dairy manure at pilot level using green solvents (ethanol, cyclohexanone (CYC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC)). reflux procedure with CYC for 3 h 130 °C DMC 4 90 showed highest (32.3%) an overall pur...

Biomaterial-associated infection is a serious complication of modern implantation surgery. Thus, the improvement of implant surfaces is required to avoid the first stage for biofilm formation, bacterial adhesion. The current research addresses this issue by developing drug delivery systems (DDS) consisting of antibiotic-loaded polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) coatings on titanium implants. Dip-coat...
