Notes:
Poly-L-Lactide (PLLA) composites were prepared with nano silver particles with theweight ratios of nano silver particles to PLLA (Ag/PLLA) at 0.5%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% (w/w).In vitro cytotoxicity tests were conducted firstly to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the composites. Theresults indicated that PLLA, 0.5%, 2.5% and 5% Ag/PLLA composites were nontoxic to cells,while 7.5% and 10% Ag/PLLA composites were significantly toxic to cells. Cell proliferationexperiments and antibacterial tests were also performed. 5% Ag/PLLA was found the best for cellproliferation with obvious antibacterial property. Thus, Ag/PLLA can be used as nontoxic scaffoldsfor tissue engineering with antibacterial property
