The physical, mechanical, and biological properties of silk fibroin/chitosan/reduced graphene oxide composite membranes for guided bone regeneration

In this study, blends of chitosan (CS)/silk fibroin (SF) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as guided bone regeneration membranes were fabricated by solvent casting method and their architectural features, hydrophilicity, porosity, swelling, degradation, and mechanical properties were investigated. The influence of CS, SF, and rGO on osteoblasts spreading and attachment was also determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and DAPI (4',...
