Abstract:Currently, a growing number of biomaterials have been evaluated to be beneficial to the application of neural tissue engineering. However, their deficient mechanical and electrical properties limit their further application, especially for nerve regeneration. Therefore, the combination of biological matrix and conductive materials has been applied to meet the requirements for nerve tissue engineering. In this work, conductive collagen (COL)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composite films with different MWNT… Show more
Carbon-based nanocomposites are biodegradable and exhibit a low toxicity with mechanical properties due to carbon species. Mechanical properties, such as elasticity, tensile strength, elongation, and hardness are essential in tissue engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
