Electrically Conductive Polypyrrole@keratin Nanofiber Membranes with Potential for Tissue Restoration
Fibers and Polymers(2024)
摘要
Electrical stimulation with conductive biomaterials shows great promising to promote skin wound healing in practical application. In this study, polypyrrole@keratin nanofiber membrane (PPy@KNM) with good conductivity was prepared using electrospinning technology and chemical in situ polymerization of pyrrole monomers. Morphological, chemical, X-ray and surface analyses suggested that PPy was deposited on the keratin nanofiber membrane (KNM). The PPy@KNM with the highest conductivity and the largest tensile strength was prepared with an oxidant concentration of 0.6 M and a dopant concentration of 0.5 M of the p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA). In vitro cell culture experiments revealed that the conductive PPy@KNM performed good biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity. Electrical stimulation via the PPy@KNM can reasonably accelerate cell growth and cell proliferation with an optimal current intensity of 80 μA and a stimulation time of 5 min/d. The research outcomes demonstrated that PPy@KNM is suitable to be applied as a functional biomedical material to promote wound healing.
