Characterization of Polyhydroxybutyrate Nanoparticles
Preparation of nanoparticles is one of the important ways to increase the biological effectiveness of materials. There are several methods to prepare the polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) nanoparticles. Here, a new method is used based on exposing PHB to ultrasound waves under variable pH conditions.

Chemical conversion of a solid body of the composite gypsum/polyhydroxybutyrate in hydroxyapatite/polyhydroxybutyrate [PDF]
Abstract The transformation of the gypsum into hydroxyapatite allows added value to this raw material, because the ceramic obtained has a high commercial value in relation to gypsum, while the polymer adds biocompatibility and bioactivity properties to the biocomposite.
