In the present work, we aimed to synthesize highly efficient nano-composite polymeric scaffolds with controllable pore size and mechanical strength. We prepared nanocomposite (CCNWs-AgNPs) of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) decorated on carboxylated CNWs (CCNWs) which serves dual functions of providing mechanical strength and antimicrobial activity. Scaffolds containing chitosan (CS) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with varying percent of nanocomposite were fabricated using freeze drying method. XRD and FESEM analysis of nanocomposite revealed highly crystalline structure with AgNPs (5.2 nm dia) decorated on similar to 200 nm long CCNWs surface. FTIR analysis confirmed the interaction between CCNWs and AgNPs. Incorporation of nanocomposite during scaffolds preparation helped in achieving the desirable 80-90% porosity with pore diameter ranging between 150 and 500 pm and mechanical strength was also significantly improved matching with the mechanical strength of cancellous bone. The swelling capacity of scaffolds decreased after the incorporation of nanocomposite. In turn, scaffold degradation rate was tuned to support angiogenesis and vascularization. Scaffolds apart from exhibiting excellent antimicrobial activity, also supported MG63 cells adhesion and proliferation. Incorporation of CCNWs also resulted in improved biomineralization for bone growth. Overall, these studies confirmed excellent properties of fabricated scaffolds, making them self-sustained and potential antimicrobial scaffolds (without any loaded drug) to overcome bone related infections like osteomyelitis.
