The effect of adding reduced graphene oxide to electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds on MG-63 cells activity

Journal: Materials Today Communications
Authors: Parisa Hajimohammadi Gohari - Masoumeh Haghbin Nazarpak - John Soleas - Mehran Solati-Hashjin

Highlights
• Green synthesis of reduced graphene oxide via vitamin c to avoid severe toxicity of commonly used reductants.
• Incorporation of rGO up to 1 %wt in electrospun PCL enhanced cells adhesion and viability.
• Development of PCL/rGO scaffolds with high strain at break (%).
• Bioactivity and Ca/P ratios of PCL/rGO scaffolds increased significantly over time.
• RGO nanosheets accelerated biodegradation of PCL.
