Novel Biopolymers/Functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Composite Scaffolds for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Abstract This work introduces the novel gelatin/chitosan blend scaffolds containing different amounts of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) up to 0.1wt%, which were prepared by freeze drying (freezing and lyophilization). The composite scaffolds were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to distinguish the functional groups and different bonds in...
متن کاملelectrospun poly caprolactone-carbon nanotube scaffold for nerve regeneration in dental tissue engineering
regeneration and engineering of functional new tissues containing the neural network have great importance. progression of neural network into the dental tissue has a crucial role in dental tissue regeneration. in the present study polymer-ceramic blended scaffolds containing different weight percentages of carbon nanotube in poly caprolactone nanofiber matrix were fabricated. morphological, me...
متن کاملFabrication of Chitosan/Poly (vinyl alcohol)/Carbon Nanotube/Bioactive Glass Nanocomposite Scaffolds for Neural Tissue Engineering
Tissue engineering in medical engineering has been always raised and expanded for the repair and replacement of damaged or destroyed tissues and organs operations. Nerve regeneration is a precious treatment for human health because it is directly related to the quality of human life. It is quite clear that human central nervous system (CNS) in adults is unable to repair itself after being damag...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube interaction with extracellular matrix proteins producing scaffolds for tissue engineering
In recent years, significant progress has been made in organ transplantation, surgical reconstruction, and the use of artificial prostheses to treat the loss or failure of an organ or bone tissue. In recent years, considerable attention has been given to carbon nanotubes and collagen composite materials and their applications in the field of tissue engineering due to their minimal foreign-body ...
متن کاملFabrication of porous ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
We investigated the fabrication of highly porous scaffolds made of three different materials [poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) polymer, an ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotube (US-tube) nanocomposite, and a dodecylated US-tube (F-US-tube) nanocomposite] in order to evaluate the effects of material composition and porosity on scaffold pore structure, mechanical properties, and marrow stromal ...
