## Abstract **Summary:** A new sequential copolyester consisting of glycolic acid and 4‐hydroxybutyric acid units was prepared by a thermal polycondensation method that uses the formation of metal chloride salts as a driving force. The polymerization conditions (time, temperature) were studied in o
## Abstract The extens of crystallization of poly(3‐hydroxybutyric acid) (P(3HB)) in blends of P(3HB) with stereoregular poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) have been studied by means of infared spectroscopy. The degree of crystallinity of P(3HB) was found to decrease by blending with atactic PVA when PVA wa
## Abstract Design of blood‐compatible surfaces is required to minimize platelet–surface interactions and increase the thromboresistance of foreign surfaces. Poly(lactic‐__co__‐glycolic‐acid)–carbon nanotube (PLGA‐CNT) composite is studied as a building material to fabricate artificial blood prosth
Highly oriented poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) fibres with an initial tensile strength of 1.1 GPa and different lamellar morphologies were prepared and studied during degradation in aqueous media at 37 °C. A combination of small-and wide-angle X-ray scattering was used to study the structural changes dur
## Abstract The objective of this study was to develop novel absorbable films suitable for use as a tissue‐engineering scaffold for keratinocytes as a therapy for replacement of damaged skin. Poly(4‐hydroxybutyrate) (P(4HB)) and poly (3‐hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) were blended with small amounts of t
