The study of the properties of chitosan-based composite films filled with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and treated with cold atmospheric plasma

Abstract

Abstract In the work composite films based on chitosan and single-walled carbon nanotubes (0.01%, 0.1%, 0.5% and 1%) were obtained. The electrical and mechanical properties of the composite films were measured. It was shown that a film with 1% SWCNT has sufficient electrical conductivity and optimal mechanical properties for the bioactivity of a culture of human dermal fibroblasts. It has been established that treating a film in a corona discharge changes the structure of the film and increases the adhesion and proliferation of human dermal fibroblast cells.
