Controlled release and antibacterial activity of antibiotic-loaded electrospun halloysite/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) composite nanofibers

- Incorporation of TCH-loaded HNTs improves the tensile strength of the nanofibrous mat.
- Incorporation of TCH-loaded HNTs does not appreciably alter the mat morphology.
- TCH/HNTs/PLGA composite nanofibers are cytocompatible.
- TCH/HNTs/PLGA composite nanofibers are able to release TCH in a sustained manner.
- TCH/HNTs/PLGA composite nanofibers display non-compromised antimicrobial activity.
