Abstract
ⶠThe carboxyl acid groups of acid-treated MWCNTs can form hydrogen bond with polymer matrix to enhance the dispersion of c-MWCNTs in the PLGA matrix. ⶠThe incorporation of c-MWCNTs enhanced the mechanical strength of the nanocomposites due to the homogeneous distribution of c-MWCNTs in PLGA matrix. ⶠAddition of c-MWCNTs allowed a better hydrophilicity in the polymer matrix. ⶠThe PLGA/c-MWCNT nanocomposites promoted the attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of rat MSCs, which would provide new insights in the PLGA/c-MWCNT nanocomposites for bone tissue engineering.
