T
his paper deals with the preparation of composite scaffolds composed of micro / nano fibers and biocompatible hydrogel. An
experiment of this work was focused on finding a suitable material that could be suitably applied while enabling cell migration
and proliferation. Only natural polymers for hydrogel formation were used for testing due to their biocompatibility, natural
biodegradability and biological functions. Five materials were selected for testing: collagen, gelatin, agarose, agar and hyaluronic acid,
which were applied to the micro / nano fibrous layer from biocompatible polycaprolactone. In the experiment itself, it was found that
all materials could be applied without great difficulty, but subsequent in-vitro testing only enabled the collagen and hyaluronic acid
hydrogel to allow cell proliferation and migration to fibrous material.
Biography
Radek Jirkovec is a Ph.D. student at department of Nonwovens and Nanofibrous Materials at Technical University of Liberec, Czech Republic. His focus is bio-
printing, hydrogels, preparation of scaffolds for tissue engineering. He has been working on these topics since his master's thesis and is currently expanding his
knowledge of these topics in his dissertation.
