9614304 Collins A plan for the dynamic mechanical testing (DMT) of the promising new polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA's) will be implemented. DMT provides detailed information on polymer structure and function, but has not typically been applied to PHA properties. A DMT investigation of the mechanical properties of the Howard novel polyhydroxyalkanoates will be conducted to appraise their industrial and medical suitability. Together with the promise of polyhydroxyalkanoates as biomaterials, PHA's are tailorable biomedical polymers, suggesting greater potential. The Howard Biomaterials Research Focus Group has developed a novel protocol to tailor PHA properties. %%% This NSF Minority Research Planning Grant furnishes the basis for DMT study and a later full-scale examination of the relationship between the deformation and application of these new polyhydroxyalkanoates. ***

9614304柯林斯将实施一项计划，对有前途的新型聚羟基链烷酸酯（PHA）进行动态力学测试（DMT）。 DMT提供了聚合物结构和功能的详细信息，但通常不适用于PHA性能。 将对霍华德新型聚羟基链烷酸酯的机械性能进行DMT调查，以评估其工业和医疗适用性。 与聚羟基链烷酸酯作为生物材料的前景一起，PHA是可定制的生物医学聚合物，这表明了更大的潜力。 霍华德生物材料研究小组已经开发出一种新的协议，以定制PHA的属性。 这项NSF少数研究规划拨款为DMT研究奠定了基础，并在后来全面检查了这些新的聚羟基烷酸酯的变形和应用之间的关系。 ***
