(a) FTIR spectra of (A) PVA films; (B) bioactive glass scaffold; (C) hybrid scaffold of PVA/BaG. (b) FTIR spectra range from 3800 to 2600 cm⁻¹ of PVA/BaG/GA hybrids (A) uncrosslinked (0%); crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (B) 1.0% and (C) 5.0%. (c) FTIR spectra range from 1800 to 850 cm⁻¹ of PVA/BaG/GA hybrids (A) uncrosslinked (0%); crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (B) 1.0% and (C) 5.0%.
