▎ 摘 要
The study aims to develop a novel nanohybrid shear-thinning hydrogel with fast gelation, and variable mechanical and biological properties. This nanohybrid hydrogel was developed via self-assembly guest-host interaction between beta-cyclodextrin modified alginate (host macromere, Alg-CD) and adamantine modified graphene oxide (guest macromere, Ad-GO) and subsequent ionic crosslinking process. We found that the rheological and mechanical properties of hydrogels were controlled via macromere concentration and the host: guest macromere ratio, due to the modulation of crosslinking density and network structure. Noticeably, 12%(1:2) dualcrosslinked hydrogel (2DC12) significantly improved the strength (1.3-folds) and toughness compared to 10% (1:4) dual-crosslinked hydrogel (4DC10). Furthermore, the hydrogel erosion and cytocompatibility relied on the designed parameters. Remarkably, 2DC12 showed less than 20% weight loss after 20 days of incubation in physiological solution and more than 200% cell survival after five days. In conclusion, the nanohybrid Alg-GO hydrogel could be used as an injectable hydrogel for soft tissue engineering applications. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
