Özet

Biodegradable, biocompatible Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a bacterial piezoactive polymer from the class of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) It has been widely used in many application such as biomedical tissue engineering, drug delivery and food packing. PHB is low thermal stability of the melt, high fragility with high crystallinity and hydrophobicity (1) Polyurethanes consist of rigid and soft flexible chains alternately in the polymer back bone. Furthermore thermoplastic polyurethane (TPUs) elastomers have included high strength,high elongation at break and good abrasion resistance and these properties provide them to be processed by using extrusion and injection molding techniques [2]. Graphene-based materials exhibit good biocompatibility, excellent electrical conductivity, supreme thermal conductivity and high mechanical strength properties with high surface area. Furthermore studies established about the graphene-based materials show that they have excellent antibacterial and angiogenic properties (3) In this study, Poly(3- hydroxybutyrate)/thermoplastic polyurethane (P3HB/TPU) composite materials containing graphane nanoparticles prepared in a micro-compounder. The nanocomposites characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) for chemical anaysis and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) for thermal properties.
