Researchers at the University of Kashmir in Jammu Kashmir, India, have conducted a study on tissue engineering and the use of polyurethane nanofiber scaffolds for bone tissue applications. The researchers found that the hydrophobicity of the nanofibers could be transformed using beta-cyclodextrin and zinc oxide nanoparticles, improving their properties. The modified fibers showed increased tensile strength and the incorporation of zinc oxide nanoparticles resulted in the mineralization of the nanofibers. The researchers concluded that these multifunctional scaffolds could be used as biomaterials for future bone tissue engineering. [Extracted from the article] |
