Design of cellulose nanocrystal‐integrated poly(vinyl alcohol)/polyethylene glycol electrospun nanofiber scaffolds for biomedical applications

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Nov. 8, 2024

Abstract The present study aims to fabricate cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) doped poly(vinyl alcohol) polyethylene glycol (PVA/PEG) nanocomposite films for biomedical applications. were prepared by using electrospinning techniques with varying percentages of CNCs (10% and 20%) mixed PVA PEG (50:50). properties the produced nanocomposites evaluated a battery tests. results surface morphology structural miscibility obtained from field emission‐scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), atomic force microscopy, Fourier transformer infra‐red studies revealed appreciable compatibility among three components (CNCs, PVA, PEG). FE‐SEM micrographs that nanomaterials underwent dramatic transition discontinuous continuous fibers, interconnected or network‐like fibers. constructed scaffold material's stability went up four phases, according thermal degradation experiments. In addition, research on biodegradation water absorption found outperformed pure PVA/PEG in terms swelling percentage time enzyme rate. hemolysis assay PVA/PEG/CNC showed good (below 5%) MTT assay, both NIH 3T3 L929 cells survived well, indicating could serve as useful tissue engineering applications such skin regeneration. sum, findings proved biological domains including wound healing can benefit nanofiber scaffolds.
