Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) employs scaffolds as a structural support for initially seeding of cells followed by development of new tissues. Electrospun scaffolds generally function as a template of native extracellular matrix (ECM). The chemical composition of the scaffold and its surface morphology strongly influence the interaction between various cell types and materials. In this work, PCL and PCL/HPMC-based composite membranes with varying concentrations of HPMC (20-30% by weight) were fabricated using electrospinning technique. The membranes were evaluated for their surface, physio-chemical and biological properties. It was observed probably for the first time that blending of HPMC with PCL produced super-hydrophilic scaffolds. DSC studies confirmed the semi- crystalline nature of HPMC. PCL/HPMC composite scaffolds are found biocompatible from cytotoxicity assay. From the cell culture studies (apoptosis), PCL/HPMC composite scaffolds did not inhibit the adhesion of L929 cells due to their super-hydrophilic nature. The cell adhesion and spreading varied with HPMC concentration. PCL/HPMC (70/30) membranes showed highest cell adhesion among others due to its porous structure.
