Application of Polyethylene Glycol to Promote Cellular Biocompatibility of Polyhydroxybutyrate Films
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biomaterial with potential for applications in biomedical and tissue engineering; however, its brittle nature and high crystallinity limit its potential. Blending PHB with a variety of PEGs produced natural-synthetic composite films composed of FDA-approved polymers wi...
