Despite a broad range of studies, this remains a challenge, highlighting the need for a better understanding of how structural features (e.g., pore size) and scaffold composition influence mechanical and physical properties, as well as cellular behavior. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize physical properties (swelling, degradation), mechanical properties (compressive modulus), and cellular behavior in relation to varying compositions (referred to composite and hybrid scaffolds) as well as varying pore sizes in three-dimensional (3D) printed scaffolds. Composite scaffolds were fabricated from polycaprolactone (PCL) and two different graphene oxide (GO) (3% and 9% (w/v)) concentrations. Additionally, hybrid scaffolds were fabricated by impregnating 3D printed scaffolds in a hydrogel blend of alginate/gelatin. Pore sizes of 400, 1000, and 1500 μm were investigated in this study to assess their effect on the scaffold properties. Our findings showed that swelling and degradation properties were enhanced by (I) the addition of GO as well as introduction of both hydrogel and highest concentration of GO (9% (w/v) GO) into the polymeric matrix of PCL, and (II) increasing the pore size within the scaffolds. Mechanical testing revealed that compressive elastic modulus increased with decreasing pore size, incorporation of GO, and increasing GO content into the matrix of PCL. Although our investigated scaffolds with various pore sizes did not show comparable elastic moduli to that of cortical bone, they exhibited an elastic modulus range (∼31-48 MPa) matching that of trabecular bone. The highest compressive modulus (∼48 MPa) was observed in scaffolds of PCL/9% (w/v) GO (composite scaffolds) with the pore size of 400 μm. Cell viability assay demonstrated high MG-63 cell survival (greater than 70%) in all composite and hybrid scaffolds (indicating scaffold biocompatibility) except PCL/3% (w/v) GO scaffolds.

In addition, platelet adhesion on these SF+peptide films was evaluated. Platelet adhesion strength was much higher on SF+RGD films than on other SF+peptide films.

The results of the XRD analysis showed that the phase transitioned from semi-crystalline to amorphous in the PVA/Coll/Gel scaffold containing 20% and 25% collagen. The developed composites with 15%, 20% and 25% collagen have the similar mechanical strength to that of human auricular cartilage. The PVA/Coll 5%/Gel scaffold with the largest pore size (∼66.47 μm) exhibits the highest swelling rate compared to the other groups. The results suggested that PVA/Coll/Gel scaffold with tunable properties might have potential applications for microtia reconstruction.</p>","PeriodicalId":15138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomaterials Applications","volume":" ","pages":"8853282251374428"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144955222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
