Biodegradable PHBV polymer-based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
This chapter reports the emulsion freezing/freeze-drying technique for the formation of three-dimensional porous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. Poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), which is a natural, biodegradable polymer, was used as the main polymer for fabricatin...
