Abstract:In this study thin films based on hyaluronic acid (HA) with tannic acid (TA) were investigated in three different weight ratios (80HA/20TA, 50HA/50TA, 20HA/80TA) for potential medical applications. Surface free energy as well as its roughness, mechanical properties, water vapor permeability rate, and antioxidant activity were determined. Moreover, the compatibility with blood and osteoblast cells was investigated. The irritation effect for hyaluronic acid/tannic acid films by in vitro method was also considere… Show more
