1. Effect of norbixin-based poly(hydroxybutyrate) membranes on the tendon repair process after tenotomy in rats
Abstract Purpose: To determine the efficacy of norbixin-based poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) membranes for Achilles tendon repair. Methods: Thirty rats were submitted to total tenotomy surgery of the right Achilles tendon and divided into two groups (control and membrane; n = 15 each), which were further subdivided into three subgroups (days 7, 14, and 21; n

2. Mass Variation Rate, in Acidic Environment, of Polyhydroxybutyrate and Chitosan matrices with Potential Application as Controlled Drug Delivery System
Polymers such as the biocompatible polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and the polysaccharide chitosan (Chi), a pH-sensitive polymer, have been studied for drug delivery applications and scaffolds production. In this work, matrices of PHB and Chi were produced by compression molding (SPHB-Chi) and loaded with a broad-spectrum biocide chlorhexidine (CHX) (SPHB-Chi-CHX)

3. Chemical conversion of a solid body of the composite gypsum/polyhydroxybutyrate in hydroxyapatite/polyhydroxybutyrate
Resumo A transformação do gesso em hidroxiapatita permite agregar valor a essa matéria-prima, pois a cerâmica obtida possui alto valor comercial em relação ao gesso, enquanto o polímero acrescenta propriedades de biocompatibilidade e bioatividade ao biocompósito. Assim, compósitos de hidroxiapatita/poli-hidroxibutirato foram preparados a partir do g

4. Comparison of acid and enzymatic hydrolysis of pectin, as inexpensive source to cell growth of Cupriavidus necator
Abstract: The present work investigated what the appropriate methods of hydrolysis of pectin for reducing compounds (RCs) production, employed as a substrate for cell growth of Cupriavidus necator. This microorganism has great importance industrial, because besides potential single cell protein (SCP), is the most studied microorganism for production of polyh

5. Evaluation of short-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulation in Bacillus aryabhattai
Abstract This study was focused on the polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulation property of Bacillus aryabhattai isolated from environment. Twenty-four polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) producers were screened out from sixty-two environmental bacterial isolates based on Sudan Black B colony staining. Based on their PHA accumulation property, six promising isolates we

6. Reprocessability of PHB in extrusion: ATR-FTIR, tensile tests and thermal studies
Abstract Mechanical recycling of biodegradable plastics has to be encouraged, since the consumption of energy and raw materials can be reduced towards a sustainable development in plastics materials. In this study, the evolution of thermal and mechanical properties, as well as structural changes of poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) up to three extrusion cycles wer

7. Biodegradation in Soil of the PHB/Wood Flour (80/20) and PHB/Sisal Fiber (80/20) Tubes
This paper presents the results of a study that aimed to monitor and evaluate biodegradation in soil, by the mass loss and the mechanical properties of plastic tubes. For this work, there were extruded and injected plastic tubes made of biodegradable polymer poly(hydroxybutyrate) - (PHB) and composite PHB/Wood Flour and PHB/Sisal Fiber, both with 20% fiber.

8. Polyhydroxybutyrate Composites with Random Mats of Sisal and Coconut Fibers
Biodegradable polymeric composites using natural fibers have been investigated aiming to mitigate environmental impacts. In this paper, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) composites obtained using random mats of sisal and coconut fibers by compression molding in a hydraulic press, and the fiber content varied between 10% and 15% relative to the weight of the polymer.

9. Production of Polyhydroxybutyrate by Bacillus axaraqunsis BIPC01 using Petrochemical Wastewater as Carbon Source
The aim of this study was to use petrochemical wastewater as the source of carbon for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in an effort to decrease its cost of production. For this purpose, PHA producing bacteria were isolated from the petrochemical wastewater of Bandar Imam, Iran. The purified colonies were screened for PHA by Sudan Black B and Nil

10. Particles of Coffee Wastes as Reinforcement in Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Based Composites
The objective of the present study was to evaluate lignocellulosic particles from sub-products of the coffee industry (coffee parchment - CP and husk - CH) into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a promising reinforcing filler in the biocomposites. The effects of type (CP or CH) and content (neat, 10% and 20%) of coffee wastes on the thermal, mechanical, microstru

11. Biodegradation evaluation of bacterial cellulose, vegetable cellulose and poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) in soil
In recent years, the inappropriate disposal of polymeric materials has increased due to industrial development and increase of population consumption. This problem may be minimized by using biodegradable polymers, such as bacterial cellulose and poly(hydroxybutyrate), from renewable resources. This work was aimed at monitoring and evaluating degradation of b

12. Evaluation of the influence of the use of waste from the processing of rice in physicochemical properties and biodegradability of PHB in composites
The high calorific value of rice husks has elevated its reuse as an energy source; however, the burning of these shells generates a waste ash from rice husk ash (RHA), which makes its disposal a concern. Despite advances, biodegradable polymers are not yet able to compete with those of traditional thermoplastics, which have lower production cost and higher p
