Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) film/porous SF-nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) double-layer composite scaffolds were fabricated by a combination of electrospinning, casting and freeze-drying. The results showed that the tensile strength and elongation of the SF film layer were significantly improved through the bridging effect of SF/(ε-caprolactone) fibers in the SF matrix. The pore size in SF-nHA porous scaffold layer was approximately 213 μm, and nHA enhanced the compressive strength of the scaffold. CCK-8 assay showed that the SF/SF-nHA scaffold not only had no obvious cytotoxicity but also significantly promoted cell proliferation. The scaffold has the potential to be used for periodontal tissue regeneration.
