Abstract
Artificial skin tissue is needed for the treatment of burns, skin cancer, diabetes, and other skin diseases. Tissue engineering combines polymeric biomaterials and cell cultures to develop tissues such as skin that can be used to heal or recover the damaged area. In this paper we report the development of a poly(L‐lactic acid) scaffold coated with polypyrrole doped with iodine by plasma polymerization. The scaffold was characterized by standard techniques for polymers. Cell cultures of keratinocytes and human fibroblasts derived from skin showed that cells adhere to the scaffolds.
