Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Materials Engineering
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Hydrogels are versatile biomaterials but often lack conductivity and mechanical strength.
  • Chitosan-lactic acid offers biocompatibility but requires enhancement for advanced applications.
  • Graphene is a promising nanomaterial for improving material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop conductive, processable, and biocompatible hydrogels.
  • To investigate the effect of graphene on chitosan-lactic acid composite properties.
  • To assess the potential of these composites as scaffolds for electro-responsive cell growth.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of chitosan-lactic acid hydrogel composites with varying graphene content.
  • Characterization of mechanical strength, swelling properties, and conductivity.
  • Evaluation of processability using additive fabrication techniques.
  • Assessment of cell adhesion and growth (fibroblast cells) on composite surfaces.

Main Results:

  • Graphene addition significantly improved hydrogel mechanical strength, with 3 wt% graphene increasing tensile strength by over 200%.
  • Composites exhibited tunable swelling properties and excellent biocompatibility.
  • Three-dimensional scaffolds with controlled dimensions were successfully fabricated using additive manufacturing.
  • Fibroblast cells showed good adhesion and proliferation on the chitosan-graphene composite surfaces.

Conclusions:

  • Chitosan-graphene composites form conductive hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties and tunable swelling.
  • These materials are processable into 3D scaffolds suitable for tissue engineering.
  • The composites show potential as conducting substrates for culturing electro-responsive cells.
