Development of Polyhydroxyalkanoate-Based Polyurethane with Water-Thermal Response Shape-Memory Behavior as New 3D Elastomers Scaffolds

In this study, we report the synthesis of a novel bio-based material from polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) with good shape-memory effect (SME) and rapid recovery. In this PHA-based polyurethane (PHP), telechelic-hydroxylated polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA-diols) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were used as soft...
