Introduction Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolymers synthesized by bacteria under specific growth conditions and have gained attention due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and applicability in biomedical and industrial fields [1.2]. The mechanical properties of these polymers, particularly at the nanoscale, influence their usability in applications like tissue engineering and coatings. This study investigates the nanomechanical properties of three PHA polymers using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [(P3HB)], poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) [(P3HBV)], and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [(P3HB4HB)].
