| Summary: | The efficient functionalization of graphene with sulfonic groups using a sustainable approach facilitates the interaction of biomolecules with its surface. The inclusion of these graphene sheets inside a photopolymerized acrylamide-based hydrogel provides a 3D scaffold with viscoelastic behaviour closer to that found in natural tissues. Cell-culture experiments and differentiation assays with SH-SY5Y cells showed that these hybrid hydrogels are non-cytotoxic, thus making them potentially useful as scaffold materials mimicking the extracellular environment |
