Investigation into morphological and electromechanical surface properties of reduced-graphene-oxide-loaded composite fibers for bone tissue engineering applications: A comprehensive nanoscale study using atomic force microscopy approach
Abstract
We decided to implement an extensive atomic force microscopy study in order to get deeper understanding of surface-related nanoscale properties of 3D printed pristine polycaprolactone and its reduced-graphene-oxide- loaded composites. The study included surface visualization and roughness quantification, elastic modulus and adhesion force assessment with force spectroscopy, along with kelvin probe force microscopy evaluation of local changes of surface potential. Atomic force microscopy examination was followed by scanning electron microscopy visualization and wettability assessment. Moreover, systematic examination of reduced graphene oxide flakes fabricated exclusively for this study was performed, including: scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and combustion elemental analysis. The addition of reduced graphene oxide resulted in thickening of the composite fibers and surface roughness enhancement. In addition, elastic modulus of composite fibers was higher and at the same time adhesion forces between scanning probe and tested surface was lower than for pristine polymeric ones. Lastly, we recorded local (nanoscale) alterations of surface potential of fibers with addition of graphene-derivative. The results clearly suggest graphene derivative’s dose-dependent alteration of elastic modulus and adhesion force recorded with atomic force microscope. Moreover, changes of the material’s surface properties were followed by changes of its electrical properties.
