Deskripsi
The creation of biomaterials which are resorbable and have biomimetic mechanical properties is key to successful tissue engineering. Here the authors report on the creation of a new biopolymer where the mechanical properties can be tuned by changing the ratios of cis:trans double bonds in the backbone.
