The structural analysis of Ch NFRCS and Cp NFRCS by variuos techniques. (A) Represents the HFFC deposition on the surface of the Ct and excess polymer deposition in the network of fibers interconnection (micrograph captured at 4 × and 10x). (B) The microscopic images (4x) represent the HFFC disposition in the network of Ct by using a fluorescent microscope. (C) The FESEM images show the Ct fiber's interconnection, film formation among the Ct fibers, and uniform surface coating on the surface of Ct fibers. (D) represents the surface morphology (surface roughness) of Ch NFRCS and Cp NFRCS at 2 µm and 5 µm height using AFM. 3D images were reconstructed using MountainsLab® Premium 8.2.9526 (https://www.digitalsurf.com/support/software-updates/), and at 2 µm height, Ch showed better surface smoothness than Cp NFRCS. (E) The FESEM images show the blood clot formation on the surface of NFRCS, intactness of the RBC clot, clot formation on the surface of Ct at submicron level, and formation of polyhedrocytes confirm the intactness of the clot in the presence of Cp NFRCS.
