Abstract: Abstract The straight and corrugated PHBHHx (Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxhexanoate)) vascular grafts with 6 mm inner diameters were prepared successfully by electrospinning. Moreover, their mechanical behaviors were investigated compared with the commercial vascular grafts (SW-ePTFE woven). Electrospun PHBHHx fibers… read more here.
