Abstract:The present study endeavors toward the investigation
on the bioactivity
of nanofibrous scaffolds manufactured by the electrospinning process.
Nanofibrous composite scaffolds of PCL with 45S5 bioactive glass and
metal oxide nanoparticles were developed and characterized. The effects
of incorporating silver (Ag), graphene oxide (GO), and zinc oxide
(ZnO) nanoparticles into PCL/bioglass nanofibrous scaffolds on its
geometry and physiochemical, morphological, mechanical, and biological
properties were studied. The… Show more
