Biodegradable and biocompatible materials have gained increased attentions because of their applications in biomedicine and tissue engineering. Among them, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a natural origin polymer, has been employed in biomedical applications as a suitable substitute of synthetic polymers for preparing scaffolds and other devices. In this context it is relevant to understand the interactions betw...
"Available online 6 October 2012" ; Inspired in nature, the creation of synthetic superhydrophobic surfaces is nowadays a major object of study, with many potential applications in different fields. The fabrication of such substrates has been dominated by the use of non biodegradable and poorly flexible materials, using expensive and complex procedures. To overcome this issue, we propose a simple concept for f...
