Abstract
To address problems related to current therapeutic and surgical treatments tissue engineering field aims to generate functional tissues in order to improve or restore damaged or diseased tissue function. Graphene hydrogel is capable of to provide groundwork of producing a biomimetic, porous nanocomposite scaffold for effective tissue regeneration. This paper describes graphene’s prospective potential as scaffold for tissue engineering. An active cell scaffold based on a graphene hydrogel has been magnificently examined by various characterization methods such as UV–vis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Subsequently, the characterization techniques confirm the capacity of graphene hydrogel as scaffold.
