A Facile Approach to Fabricate Dual Purpose Hybrid Materials for Tissue Engineering and Water Remediation

摘要

nanoparticles and cross-linked with oxidized sago starch. The biocompatibility, thermal stability and antimicrobial property of hybrid scaffold enabled its application in burn wound healing demonstrated through albino rat models. The highly porous hybrid scaffolds are shown to be super-compressible, which is typically forbidden in materials of biological origin. We demonstrate that the hybrid scaffolds concurrently display both adsorption and absorption behavior in the removal of oil and dye molecules, respectively from contaminated water. This study paves the way for the development of novel multifunctional and shape recoverable hybrid materials specifically from renewable resources.
