Randomized trial investigates the effectiveness of nanocomposite scaffolds for tissue engineering, suggesting promising applications.

The aim is to fabricate composite nanofibrous mats with metal nanoparticles for use in tissue engineering.
Incorporated silver and copper nanoparticles into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers via electrospinning.
Characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
Conducted analysis of nanofiber mats after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 7 days.
SEM analysis showed interconnected and randomly-oriented nanofibers.
XRD and FTIR confirmed the presence of silver nanoparticles and hydroxapatite in the mats.
Demonstrated long-term release of silver ions from the scaffolds.
