what are the uses of polyhydroxybutyrate

Answers

Answered by anshujain90

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is widely used as a biomaterial in medical and tissue-engineering applications, a relatively high crystallinity limits its application. Blending PHB with ethyl-cellulose (EtC) was readily achieved to reduce PHB crystallinity and promote its degradation under physiological conditions without undue influence on biocompatibility.

Sannarose19: Thank u. can u differentiate between PHA and PHB. and how to identify both?
