The cross-section morphologies of the CSMA/PECA/GO scaffolds were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JEM-100CX, Japan), and the mean pore sizes were calculated from SEM images by JEM associated software. The porosity was measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry. For the swelling studies, dried scaffolds of each formulation were weighted (Wd)-prior immersion in pH = 7.4 PBS at 37 oC. After 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min and 120 min of immersion, the samples were weighted (Ws) (n = 3). The superficial water was removed prior weighing with oil paper. The swelling ratio (Q) was obtained using the equation (Q = (Ws-Wd)/Wd). Meanwhile, the volume changes were also measured. The mechanical properties of the scaffolds with 1 cm radius and 0.5 cm high were determined by measuring their compression modulus in a wet state. An Instron 5500 mechanical tester with 10 KN load cell was used for compression mechanical test. The crosshead speed was set at 0.1 mm/min, and the load was applied until the scaffold was crushed completely. The conductivity of scaffolds prepared at different formulations was measured using a four-point probe measurement system with Keithley 220 programmable current source and Keithley 6514 programmable electrometer (Keithley Instruments Inc., USA).

The measurement system is illustrated in Fig. 3. For electrical measurement, Ag/AgCl electrodes, which were fabricated by coating Pt wire with Ag/AgCl paste, were inserted into the inlet and the outlet reservoirs of the microchannels. Outlets that were not used were closed. Each electrode was connected to an electrometer (Keithley 6514, high impedance of 200 TΩ in voltage measurement mode, Keithley Instruments, Inc., USA). Sample solutions were driven with a pressure controller (PC20 pressure controller, Nagano Keiki Co., Ltd., Japan). The current between the inlet and the outlet was measured. Phosphatebuffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2, 0.01 M) was used as a suspension solution. Once all the fluidic channels were filled with PBS, cells were injected in the microchannel at low pressure (5 kPa) and introduced to a single cell chamber due to the flow to the extended-nano channel and brought in contact with the extended-nano channel with small damage to the cell's membrane. Finally, the resistances were calculated from measured current-voltage curves, and the results were compared for the extended-nano channel with and without a cell. For comparison with a living cell, dead cells were prepared by culturing the cell in PBS at 25°C.

All SEM and EDS images were captured by field emission scanning electron microscope (Nova Nano 450, FEI). The crystal structure of ZnS was characterized by X‐ray diffraction at room temperature (D8 Advance, Bruker AXS).

Characterization of Hydrogel Electrical Properties

Electrical conductivity (σ) was measured using the modified four‐point probe method. By applying an AC voltage (±1 V, 1000 Hz), voltage (V) and current (I) were recorded using a probe station (MST4000A, MSTECH, Korea). The thickness (T), length (L), and width (W) were measured using an optical microscope (SMZ645, Nikon, Japan). The electrical conductivity (σ) was calculated using the equation: σ = (L × I)/(W × T × V).
The electrical impedance was characterized by using a potentiostat (SP‐200, Bio‐Logic, USA). The hydrogel samples were loaded between two platinum electrodes with a 10 mm × 10 mm area and ≈200‐µm thickness. The two electrodes were connected to the potentiostat, and EIS measurement was conducted. To characterize the electrical resistance of the hydrogel, the output voltage and current across the hydrogel were measured in real‐time using an electrometer (Keithley 6514, Tektronix, USA).
