Improving the Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Polyhydroxyalkanoates via PHA–PHA Block‐Copolymer Synthesis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Covalent linkage of a highly crystalline PHBV with a ductile P3HB4HB is shown to produce block copolymers with markedly enhanced extensibility and toughness, outperforming equivalent blends. The results demonstrate that polymer architecture, not composition alone, governs mechanical response, offering a route to biodegradable materials that combine ...

Hamstring graft remodelling after ACL reconstruction is slower in paediatric population compared to adults

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are increasing in children and adolescents and reconstruction (ACLR) is now frequently performed in this population. Paediatric patients remain at higher risk of reinjury, possibly due to delayed graft remodelling.
