Synthesis of Bio-Based Polyester from Microbial Lipidic Residue Intended for Biomedical Application.

In the last decade, selectively tuned bio-based polyesters have been increasingly used for their clinical potential in several biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery. With a biomedical application in mind, a flexible polyester was produced by melt polycondensation using the microbial oil residue collected after the distillation of β-farnesene (FDR) produced industrially by genetically modified yeast, After characterization, the polyester exhibited elongation up to 150% and presented of -51.2 °C and of 169.
