The materials used as tissue scaffolds play an important role for guiding the tissue to create a new functional structure when the damaged tissue is no longer regenerated naturally [1]. Whether or not the material is suitable for tissue scaffold depends on its physical and chemical properties, such as mechanical properties, degradability and, importantly, biocompatibility. Most of biomaterials used in tissue engineering are poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and poly (glycolic acid)(PGA)[2–4]. But their poor hydrophilicity [5, 6] and relatively high crystallinity [7, 8] restrict their application in some degree. For example, previous experiments of tissue engineered heart valves fabricated by PGA only successfully acted at the low-pressure pulmonary circulation [9]. Recently, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a thermoplastic elastomor class of biopolyesters synthesized by the bacteria as an intracellular carbon and energy storage compound [10–12], is widely applied as biodegradable plastics. Moreover, it is recognized as a candidate for tissue engineered heart valve and cartilage [13] because of its elastic and easily moldable properties [14]. Of PHAs family, the most common member as biomaterial
