Article Synopsis
- Biodegradable PLGA/c-MWCNT nanocomposites were created using a solvent casting technique and tested for biocompatibility with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
- Scanning electron microscopy showed that carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (c-MWCNTs) had improved dispersion in PLGA, enhancing mechanical properties and accelerating degradation.
- MSCs on the PLGA/c-MWCNT composites exhibited better adhesion, viability, and higher alkaline phosphatase production, indicating the potential of these materials for bone tissue engineering applications.
