Abstract
The current study involves synthesis of a composite films of sodium alginate (Alg), polyvinylalcohol and NanoGraphene oxide (GO) for tissue engineering applications. Solvent casting was used to make the polymeric composite films (Alg-Pva-Go), which may exhibit a synergic activity of the components for tissue repair. The influence of various GO concentrations on the films properties was also investigated. The scaffold has outstanding physicochemical and biological properties. The composite film's high swelling degree and contact angle reveals its high hydrophilicity, making it appropriate for tissue engineering. The antimicrobial activity on Staphylococcus aureus were studied. Furthermore, the antimicrobial test showed that the films composite was resistant to S. aureus. Seeding (AD-MSC) cells into the composite films exhibited an increase in cell adhesion and proliferation when compared to the Alginate and Polyvinylalcohol film in vitro experiments, indicating that the GO has a good influence on the films characteristics, which can utilization in tissue engineering applications.
