Abstract

An attempt was made on to evaluate the feasibility on interaction of pimelic acid with natural polymers, namely chitosan and collagen, and further assess the functional, mechanical, thermal and biocompatible properties. Pimelic acid cross-linked 3D-scaffold biopolymer of chitosan and collagen displayed appreciable mechanical strength, thermal stability, and biocompatibility. The chemistry of interaction suggested noncovalent interactions play a major role in deciding the property of the said materials and its suitability for biomedical applications.
