Abstract
Cellulose-based polymeric composites have received considerable attention as appealing biomimetic alternatives for a variety of biological applications because of their unique mechanical characteristics and appreciable bioactivity. In this investigation, four ternary polymeric composites were prepared, with cellulose serving as a typical common - -TCP) serving as a common bioceramic component. The naturally available hemp was used for the isolation of cellulose. The solution precipitation process was used to cr -TCP. Cellulose/Agar- -TCP, Cellulose/I- -TCP, Cellulose/Polyvinyl alcohol - -TCP were the four polymeric composites prepared. The thermal and mechanical properties of the prepared composites were analysed and were compared. The SEM images of these materials indicated that the presence -TCP in the composites reveals notable morphological changes in the surface that are appropriate for the cell adhesion nature. The antimicrobial properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer and in vitro wound healing ability of the prepared composites open a new perspective in the applications for biomaterials field.
