Abstract
The thermo-mechanical properties, microstructure, and biocompatibility of a molecular weight series of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) produced by Azotobacter vinelandii wild-type strain (OP) and mutant derivatives strains OPN, SOP1 and OPNA were determined. A broad molecular weight range was investigated, spanning from 160 kDa to 2030 kDa. Thermal properties were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis...
