Tailoring the surface architecture of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) scaffolds

This study was designed to determine whether the surface modifications of the various poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐4‐hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB‐ co ‐4HB)] copolymer scaffolds fabricated would enhance mouse fibroblast cells (L929) attachment and proliferation. The P(3HB‐ co ‐4HB) copolymer with a wide range of 4HB monomer composition (16–91 mol %) was synthesized by a local isolate Cupriavidus sp. USMAA1020 by employing the modified two‐stage...
