Studies on cytocompatibility of human dermal fibroblasts on carbon nanofiber nanoparticle-containing bioprinted constructs.

ABSTRACT: Functional nanocomposite-based printable inks impart strength, mechanical stability, and bioactivity to the printed matrix due to the presence of nanomaterials or nanostructures. Carbonaceous nanomaterials are known to improve the electrical conductivity, osteoconductivity, mechanical, and thermal properties of printed materials. In the current work, we have incorporated carbon nanofiber nanoparticles (CNF NPs) into methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) to investigate whether the resulting nanocomposite printable ink constructs (GelMA-CNF NPs) promote cell proliferation. Two kinds of printable constructs, cell-laden bioink and biomaterial ink, were prepared by incorporating various concentrations of CNF NPs (50, 100, and 150 µg/mL). The CNF NPs improved the mechanical strength and dielectric prope
