Abstract

The main purpose of this study was fabrication of catechin (green tea extract) loaded PLA/gelatin microfibers and investigation about antibacterial and cell culture behavior of produced fibers. For this, catechin was loaded in gelatin or PLA or both polymeric solutions and electrospinning with two different nozzles was used for scaffold production. SEM analysis showed smooth fibers with no cracks for catechin incorporated fibers. Loading catechin increased hydrophilic nature of mat. Antibacterial analysis against gram positive and gram negative bacteria confirmed that fibers with catechin can inhibit bacteria growth.
