Preparation of Chitosan Electrospun Nanofibers as Wound Dressing

To mimic natural tissues in vitro, the electrospinning technique has been heavily explored, due mainly to its potential for fabricating highly porous fibrous membraneswith the diameters in the range 30-130 nm found in thenatural extracellular matrix (ECM) [1]. Chitosan offers many greatproperties such as nontoxic, antibacterial, biocompatible and biodegradable and therefore an excellent material for biomedical [2].
