dc.description.abstract | Bone defects as a common orthopedic disease lead to severe pains over a long period. Scaffolds are novel approaches in tissue engineering to treat bone problems and deal with their challenges. Here, 3D porous polyurethane (PU) scaffolds containing graphene oxide (GO) with different percentages (0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt%) were developed through a combination of freeze-drying and salt etching techniques for bone tissue engineering applications. The morphologies of scaffolds, physicochemical properties, the degree of crystallinity, and hydrophilicity were evaluated by SEM, FTIR, XRD, and water contact angle assay, respectively. The porosity, degradation behavior, compressive strength, and elastic modulus of 3D porous scaffolds were also determined. To assess the scaffold bioactivity, the morphology of the deposited calcium phosphate layer on the scaffold with macro-structure was evaluated by SEM images. The viability and adhesion of MG63 osteoblast-like cells cultured on the fabricated scaffolds were examined by MTT assay and SEM images, respectively. The results show that adding GO particles not only had no effect on the interconnectivity and porosity of 3D porous macroscopic structures of neat PU but also smaller and more uniformed microscopically pores were obtained. The crystallinity, water contact angle, and weight loss of scaffolds increased as the higher GO concentrations were employed. Followed by increasing GO contents from 0 to 0.5 wt%, the compressive strength and Young's modulus were increased by 232% and 245%, respectively. The bioactivity of scaffolds was fostered as GO concentration increased. Although, the MTT assay proved the biocompatibility of PU scaffolds containing 0.1 and 0.3 wt% GO, the samples loaded with 0.5 GO had a negative impact on the viability of MG63 cell lines. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates a high potential of PU scaffolds loaded with 0.1 and 0.3 wt% GO particles in bone tissue engineering applications. | en_US |
