Microstructural Changes during Degradation of Biobased Poly(4-Hydroxybutyrate) Sutures
Fibers of poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB) have been submitted to both hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation media in order to generate samples with different types and degrees of chain breakage. Random chain hydrolysis is clearly enhanced by varying temperatures from 37 to 55 °C and is slightly depend...
