Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases, particularly myocardial infarction, have significant healthcare challenges due to the limited regenerative capacity of injured heart tissue. Cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) offers a promising approach to repairing myocardial damage using biomaterials that mimic the heart’s extracellular matrix. This study investigates the potential of graphene nanopowder (Gnp)-enhanced polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds fabricated via electrospinning to improve the properties necessary for effective cardiac repair. This work aimed to analyze scaffolds with varying graphene concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% by weight) to determine their morphological, chemical, mechanical, and biocompatibility characteristics. The results presented that incorporating graphene improves PCL scaffolds’ mechanical properties and cellular interactions. The optimal concentration of 1% graphene significantly enhanced mechanical properties and biocompatibility, promoting cell adhesion and proliferation. These findings suggest that Gnp-enhanced PCL scaffolds at this concentration can serve as a potent substrate for CTE providing insights into designing more effective biomaterials for myocardial restoration.
