Abstract
We demonstrate the preparation and its drug delivery behavior of this novel hybrid collagen-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hydrogel obtained. CNTs can be taken as an additive to enhance the stability of the hybrid hydrogel. As a result, the sustained release effects of the hybrid hydrogel on gentamicin sulphate were significantly improved. The hybrid hydrogel combined the excellent safety of bullfrog collagen and the enhanced stability of CNTs brought to the hybrid hydrogel. It suggests that the hybrid collagen hydrogel with CNTs could be used as a novel kind of drug delivery matrix.
