Development of Graphene Oxide-/Galactitol Polyester-Based Biodegradable Composites for Biomedical Applications

Abstract: We have developed nanocomposites based on galactitol/adipic acid in the molar ratio of 1:1 with different weight percentages of graphene oxide (GO). The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of enhanced physicochemical properties achieved due to the addition of GO to the polymers on cellular responses. The chemical structures of the polymer and composites were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the uniform distribution of GO in the polymers. … Show more

“…Thus, GO, which has excellent mechanical properties, has been studied as a filler material together with various polymers to improve their mechanical performances. As expected, a small amount of GO (i.e., 1% in weight percentage) would significantly improve the mechanical properties of the composite scaffolds . However, it is worth noting that in some cases too much of GO in the composites might be detrimental to the mechanical performance .…”

“…Thanks to the rich presence of polar oxygen‐containing functionalities, the addition of GO can also increase the hydrophilicity of the composite materials. Many groups have reported the decrease in the water contact angles upon the addition of GO to their polymeric scaffold materials . The enhancement of hydrophilicity significantly improved the protein and cell adhesion strength of the composite materials, which is a key parameter for BTE scaffold fabrications.…”
