Recent developments in short- and medium-chain- length Polyhydroxyalkanoates: Production, properties, and applications.

Developing renewable resource-based plastics with complete biodegradability and a minimal carbon footprint can open new opportunities to effectively manage the end-of-life plastics waste and achieve a low carbon society. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biobased and biodegradable thermoplastic polyesters that accumulate in microorganisms (e.g.

Crosslinked porous three-dimensional cellulose nanofibers-gelatine biocomposite scaffolds for tissue regeneration.

Gelatine is a biocompatible and natural polymer with chemical properties similar to the extracellular matrix. However, it has poor mechanical properties and sensitive to enzymatic biodegradation that limits its application in 3D scaffold fabrication. Cellulose nanofibrous (CNF) offers biocompatibility, high surface area and excellent mechanical properties with slow in-vivo degradation.
