Abstract

Chitosan-gelatin (Cs-Gel) scaffolds are modified with poly (DL-lactic acid) (PDLLA) dichloromethane solution of different concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0%) and immersed in water after the evaporation of the solvent. The swollen scaffolds are freeze dried. The concentration of PDLLA has significant effects on both the physicomechanical properties and the cytocompatibility. Data reveal that only the 0.1% concentration could increase the tensile strength fourfold in comparison with the pristine Cs-Gel scaffold, while maintaining the human fibroblast adhesion, migration, and proliferation just like the Cs-Gel scaffold.
