Biodegradable Chitosan/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composite for Bone Tissue Engineering

Abstract:

In this work the influence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on mechanical properties was evaluated also the osteoinduction mechanism in Chitosan/MWCNT composite is reported. The morphology and the mechanical properties of the scaffolds were controlled by varying solvent ratios, quenching temperatures and carbon nanotubes concentration. In vitro cell culture of Sprague-Dawley rat’s osteoblasts was used to evaluate the phenotype expression of cells in the scaffolds. … Show more

“…It was observed that composite film conditioned with IPA gave the highest extraction efficiencies for all targeted analytes. This suggested that the non-polar solvent overcame the wettability issue, activated the sorbent, and enhanced the interaction between hydrophobic sorbent and aqueous sample during the extraction procedures [32].…”

“…Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are polymers of pure carbon with multiple layers in tubular shape. Incorporation of highly interconnected pores of the MWCNTs in the biopolymer matrix is expected to contribute to increase the hydrophobic sites, surface area and porosity of the materials and thus enhancing the extraction efficiency . The prepared Agr‐Ch‐MWCNT was applied for the first time as sorbent in the SPME for the analysis of three selected NSAIDs (naproxen [NAP], diclofenac sodium salt [DIC], and mefenamic acid [MEF]) in water samples before determination by HPLC–UV.…”
