Layer-by-layer particle deposited membranes of silk fibroin and poly (vinyl alcohol) for guided bone regeneration: molecular structure, morphology, and properties

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is an effective approach for oral and maxillofacial surgery. The membranes were fabricated by particle deposition into layer-by-layer of silk fibroin (SF)/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/silk fibroin (SF). These membranes were varied amount of PVA: 0, 100, 200, and 300 ml of 5% (w/v) PVA (control, PVA100, 200, and 300, respectively). Morphology and molecular structure were explored and characterised by scanning electron...
