Abstract
Bone tissue scaffolds require appropriate properties conducive for new tissue growth. In this study, we prepared a novel electrospun nanofiber scaffold using polyurethane (PU), rosemary (RM) oil and copper sulphate (CuSO4) respectively. The properties of the developed membranes were established through scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), contact angle and mechanical testing. Further, blood compatibility and cytocompatibility assay were carried out to evaluate their biological responses. The developed composites rendered appropriate surface morphology with tailor made wettability and roughness. Composites with engineered physicochemical properties improved the blood and cytocompatible properties which can be potentially exploited for bone tissue engineering applications.
