PG - 568-573 LID - S0141-8130(16)31772-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2016.12.091 [doi] AB - Nanofibrous scaffolds from cotton cellulose and nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) were electrospun for bone tissue engineering. The solution properties of cellulose/nano-HA spinning dopes and their associated electrospinnability were characterized. Morphological, thermal and mechanical properties of the electrospun cellulose/nano-HA nanocomposite nanofibers (ECHNN) were measured and the biocompatibility of ECHNN with human dental follicle cells (HDFCs) was evaluated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images indicated that the average diameter of ECHNN increased with a higher nano-HA loading and the fiber diameter distributions were well within the range of natural ECM (extra cellular matrix) fibers (50-500nm). The ECHNN exhibited extraordinary mechanical properties with a tensile strength and a Young's modulus up to 70.6MPa and 3.12GPa respectively. Moreover, it was discovered that the thermostability of the ECHNN could be enhanced with the incorporation of nano-HA. Cell culture experiments demonstrated that the ECHNN scaffolds were quite biocompatible for HDFCs attachment and proliferation, suggesting their great potentials as scaffold materials in bone tissue engineering.
