“…The introduction of 3HV into the macromolecule enhanced the hydrolytic stability of the copolymer. The enhanced hydrolytic stability of the PHBV copolymers compared to PHB copolymers corresponded with the literature and may be explained by the higher hydrophobicity of PHBV than PHB [46]. The decrease of molecular weight in time for all PHA scaffolds showed typical exponential decay.…”

“…In addition, temperature also affects the state of a polymer, which in turn will cause non-enzymatic hydrolytic reactions. Previous report showed that higher temperature would decrease the molecular weight of PHA (Bonartsev et al 2012 ). Therefore, the effect of temperature on polymer films and lipase depolymerizing activities was studied.…”

“…PHB is prepared by a biotechnology route, possesses promising properties such as a high level of biocompatibility [7][8][9], and can undergo biodegradation in living tissues without forming toxic substances [10][11][12]. Therefore, PHB is used in the development of medical implements for surgery, dentistry, cardiac surgery, orthopedics, and other areas [13,14].…”
