제목 Preparation of PHBV/Keratin nanofiber mats by electrospinning
초록 [Introduction]
Keratins are fibrous proteins constructing hair, wool, nail and so on, but they are water-insoluble because of high disulfide bond content. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV) is well known as biodegradable, biocompatible and non-toxic polymeric materials. Based on above properties, we aimed to obtain PHBV/Keratin nanofiber mats by electrospinning, which have potential usages in tissue engineering scaffolds, wound dressing, drug delivery platforms and so on.
[Experimental]
1. Modification of keratin
After optimizing conditions for extracting keratin from raw materials, we chemical modified cysteine residues with iodoacetic acid (IAA). The degree of modification was measured by SH% assay using DTNB method.
2. Electrospinning of PHBV/keratin
Nanofiber mats were obtained by electrospinning of 6 wt% polymer solution in
perfluoroalcohol with different ratio. Characterizations of nanofiber mats were carried out using ATR-FTIR, SEM, AFM and ESCA.
3. Bio-related experiments
To examine cell behaviors on nanofiber mats, fibroblasts were used. The other bio-related experiments are ongoing.
[Results and discussion]
