Low concentrations of gelatinized LRS had increased BC production with the maximum value at 6.67 g/L when 5 g/L of LRS was added in the culture media and the composites had thicker and denser fibrils compared with those of BC with low concentrations of LRS(2.5 and 5 g/L). When the concentration of LRS was increased above 7.5 g/L, the morphology of the BC/LRS composites contained more fibril layers that were linked with LRS. The results from X-ray diffraction(XRD) demonstrated that there was no significant difference in structure between BC and BC/LRS composites except a slight increase in crystallinity for BC/LRS composites as the concentration of LRS was lifted up. The tensile tests were performed to display BC/LRS composites prepared with LRS concentration at 2.5 and 5 g/L in media had the tensile strength of 54 and 60 MPa, respectively, which indicated an improvement in mechanical property compared to the unmodified BC(45 MPa). Live/dead assay with chondrocytes seeded on BC/LRS composite revealed higher cell viability ranging from 85% to 90% than BC. Furthermore, cell morphology with typical spindle shape was observed on the surfaces of BC/LRS composite by confocal microscope. Through the overall results, it shows that this study has provided a guidance to prepare BC/LRS composites with better cell biocompatibility and higher mechanical strength than those of BC for the potential use in cartilage tissue engineering.展开更多
