Abstract

Binary nano-biocomposite 3D scaffolds of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) - gelatin were fabricated without the use of chemical cross-linking additives. Controlled oxidative treatment allowed the introduction of carboxyl or carbonyl functionalities on the surface of CNCs that were responsible for the cross-linking of gelatin polymers. The obtained composites were characterized for their physico-chemical properties, and their biocompatibility towards different cell cultures was eval-uated through MTT and LDH assays, cellular adhesion and proliferation experiments. Gelatin composites reinforced with carbonyl-modified CNCs showed the most performing swell-ing/degradation profile and the most promising adhesion and proliferation properties towards cell lines, suggesting their potential application in the field of tissue engineering
