Supercritical antisolvent precipitation of PHBV microparticles [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2007
The micronization of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) from organic solutions using supercritical antisolvent (SAS) technique has been successfully achieved. SAS experiments were carried out at different operational conditions and microspheres with mean diameters ranging from 3 to 9 microm were obtained. The effect of CO(2) and liquid

Exploring Lemon Industry By-Products for Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production: Comparative Performances of <i>Haloferax mediterranei</i> PHBV vs. Commercial PHBV. [PDF]

open access: yesPolymers (Basel)
This study investigates the valorisation of lemon industry by-products as carbon sources to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) using the halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei. The resulting polymer (HFX PHBV) was supplemented with nucleating agents (orotic acid, boron nitride, and theobromine) and compared with a ...

Crystallization and dielectric behaviour of PLA and PHBV in PLA/PHBV blends and PLA/PHBV/TiO2 nanocomposites

open access: yesExpress Polymer Letters, 2019
The morphology, crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of PLA, PHBV and their blends and nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler were investigated. An uncommon morphological change was observed with increasing PLA content in the blends, and this complicated the isothermal crystallization kinetics analyses of the different samples.

Cartilage tissue engineering using PHBV and PHBV/Bioglass scaffolds

open access: yesMolecular Medicine Reports, 2014
Scaffolds have an important role in cartilage tissue engineering. Poly(hydroxybutyrate‑co‑hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) has been demonstrated to have potential as a scaffold for the three dimensional construction of engineered cartilage tissue. However, the poor hydrophilicity and mechanical strength associated with PHBV affects its clinical applications as ...

Film-blown blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) by compatibilization with poly(butylene-co-succinate-co-adipate) with a free radical initiator

open access: yesPolymer Testing, 2023
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a sustainable and biodegradable polymer that has potential for use in food packaging. However, its low melt strength makes it difficult to process using film-blowing techniques. To address this issue,
