Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of EDC cross-linking on the physicochemical properties of ionized collagen scaffolds. Methods: Ionized collagen scaffolds: native collagen(NC), methylation collagen(MC) and succinylated collagen(SC), were fabricated with modification of side chain and 1-ethyl-3-(3- dimethyl-aminopropyl) carbodiimide(EDC)cross-linking. Scaffolds were observed and analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), Fourier transform infrared radiometer(FT-IR) and experiment of enzyme degradation in vitro. And the effects of EDC cross-linking on the physicochemical properties of collagen scaffolds were investigated. Results: The results indicated that modification of side chain had changed the surface charge of collagen, and EDC cross-linking had improved pore size, porosity, denatured temperature(Td) and ability of antienzyme degradation of NC and MC, changed chemical structure of NC and MC; but that had no influences on pore size, porosity, chemical structure of SC, and decreased Td and ability of antienzyme degradation of it. Coclusion: These data indicate that EDC cross-linking may lead to enhanced physicochemical properties of ionized collagen scaffolds. It provided experimental basis of ionized collagen using in periodontal tissue engineering scaffolds.
