Abstract

For biotechnology applications, a novel nanobiocomposite was synthesized based on modification of graphene oxide (GO) by extracted silk fibroin (SF), natural polymer pectin (Pec) and zinc chromite (ZnCr2O4) nanoparticles (NPs). The structure and properties of hybrid nanobiocomposite GO-Pec/SF/ZnCr2O4 such as thermal stability, less toxicity, biocompatibility, antibacterial, and biodegradable were proved by using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). According to the biological features of substances, the GO-Pec/SF/ZnCr2O4 nanobiocomposite shows perfect results in MTT (83.71 %) and Hemolysis (16.52 %) assays. accordingly, mentioned properties of this nanobiocomposite can be used as a scaffold for medical applications. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
