Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is generated from citrus gel by Gluconacetobacter hansenii TL-2C. BC has good properties such as high-burst pressure, high-water contact and the ultrafine highly nanofibrous structure of mimic natural extracellular matrix (ECM) for tissue engineering. In this study, acrylic acid (AAc) was grafted onto BC surfaces under aqueous conditions using gamma-ray irradiation, and then immobilized gelatin onto AAc-g-BC. The characterization of scaffolds was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), toluidine blue O (TBO) assay. Morphology of gelatin and AAc incorporation onto BC nanofibers did not changed. Our study suggests that gelatin-immobilized BC nanofibers scaffold has a potentiality to fabricate 3D nanofibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering.
