How do I get smooth edges for a contourf plot on a log-log scale scatterplot?

MFR_1 = [0.93016, 0.13933, 0.04154; 4.75072, 0.96454, 0.27638; 16.1767, 3.35929, 1.03684];
%Then the y-axis data (also a matrix): 
mtot_1 = [0.00087393, 0.001293, 0.00161739; 0.00146412, 0.00182395, 0.00211802; 0.00195069, 0.00228598, 0.002528465];
%Then the "z" data (if you would call it that). This is what determines the color of the dots.  It is also a matrix:
SN_maxes_1 = [1.678801, 1.627564, 1.521288; 1.535838, 1.848008, 1.7666569; 1.419559, 1.818278, 1.963394];
a = reshape(mtot_1,1,[]); % convert matrix to row vector
b = reshape(MFR_1,1,[]); % convert matrix to row vector
c = reshape(SN_maxes_1,1,[]); % convert matrix to row vector
figure(4)
clf
hold on
scatter(b, a, [], c, 'filled') 

% create a mesh with constant log spacing , and find points that are inside
% a polygon  (convex hull)
bl = log10(b');
al = log10(a');
cl = log10(c');
k = boundary(bl,al,1); % define outer hull 
xv = bl(k);
yv = al(k);
% plot(10.^xv, 10.^yv, '-r')

x = linspace(min(xv),max(xv),200);
y = linspace(min(yv),max(yv),200);
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);
x = X(:);
y = Y(:);
in = inpolygon(x,y,xv,yv);
xin = 10.^(X(in));
yin = 10.^(Y(in));

vq = griddata(bl,al,c,log10(xin),log10(yin));
scatter(xin, yin, [], vq, 'filled') 
% plot(xin,yin,'.r')
set(gca,'xscale','log')
set(gca,'yscale','log')
colorbar
xlabel('MFR')
ylabel('total mass flow')
hold off
