Preparation and characterization of tannic acid cross-linked scaffolds made of chitosan, collagen and hyaluronic acid
Journal Title: Engineering of Biomaterials / Inżynieria Biomateriałów - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 136
Abstract
Biopolymers are widely used in biomaterials science. They are biocompatible, biodegradable and non-toxic for human body. The aim of the study was to obtain scaffolds made of chitosan, collagen and hyaluronic acid modified by addition of tannic acid. The biopolymers were mixed as 1% solution, where collagen and chitosan were mixed in 50/50 (w/w%) and 1, 2 and 5 (w/w%) of hyaluronic acid was added. 2, 5, 10 and 20 (w/w%) of tannic acid was added to the mixture and scaffolds were obtained by freeze drying method. Samples with the tannic acid as well as without it were characterized by the mechanical parameters measurement, infrared spectroscopy (IR-ATR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover the porosity and density of the scaffolds were determined. The addition of tannic acid improves the mechanical properties and porosity of the scaffolds. All the scaffolds were porous and no significant changes in the structure were observed at the SEM images. In the IR-ATR spectra characteristic peaks of polymers as amide I, II, III and A were shifted after addition of tannic acid due to the presence of new hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. The results show that tannic acid can be used as a cross-linking agent to modify the properties of the scaffolds.
