Abstract

Chitosan/graphene oxide (GO) composite films were prepared by solution blending method. Intensive characterization of films, surface, and bulk, was performed by Fourier transmission infrared spectrometry, X‐ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and mechanical test. The biocompatibility of chitosan/GO films was tested in vitro on the murine osteoblastic cell line MC3T3‐E1. By incorporating 6 wt% GO into chitosan, Young's modulus and tensile strength values exceed those of nacre by about 60 and 20%, respectively. Biocompatibility assays indicated a high cell proliferation rate for the composite films with high GO content. POLYM. COMPOS., 34:2116–2124, 2013. © 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers
