Designing Novel Interfaces via Surface Functionalization of Short-Chain-Length Polyhydroxyalkanoates
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), a microbial plastic has emerged as promising biomaterial owing to the broad range of mechanical properties. However, some studies revealed that PHA is hydrophobic and has no recognition site for cell attachment and this is often a limitation in tissue engineering aspects...
