Abstract

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are evolving towards utilising biomaterial or scaffold to regenerate tissue or organ. Scaffold plays a crucial role in the tissue or organ regeneration thus a study for the characterisation for the collagen scaffold need to be carried out. In this study, purified collagen was extracted from bovine tendon legs then the scaffold was fabricated using freeze drying method. The collagen scaffold was dehydrothermally treated and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde and followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. From DSC analysis, the glass transition temperature, Tg for the sample in small pan with dimension 8.5cm×8.5cm×4cm is 60?C and 145?C for both without and with 1.0% glutaraldehyde crosslink respectively. The glass transition temperature for small pan is high which means that it is strong and rigid. Strong and rigid scaffold is needed in order to withstand the harsh condition within human body for the case of intestinal regeneration. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are other techniques that can be used to further characterise collagen scaffold for its surface morphology also for its functional groups.
