Cold plasma treatment of tannic acid as a green technology for the fabrication of advanced cross-linkers for bioactive collagen/gelatin hydrogels

Abstract

Tannic acid (TA) is a natural compound studied as the cross-linker for biopolymers due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. There are different methods to improve its reactivity and effectiveness to be used as a modifier for biopolymeric materials. This work employed plasma to modify tannic acid TA, which was then used as a cross-linker for fabricating collagen/gelatin scaffolds. Plasma treatment did not cause any significant changes in the structure of TA, and the resulting oxidized TA showed a higher antioxidant activity than that without treatment. Adding TA to collagen/gelatin scaffolds improved their mechanical properties and stability. Moreover, the obtained plasma-treated TA-containing scaffolds showed antibacterial properties and were non-hemolytic, with improved cytocompatibility towards human dermal fibroblasts. These results suggest the suitability of plasma treatment as a green technology for the modification of TA towards the development of advanced TA-crosslinked hydrogels for various biomedical applications.
