Large-scale production of a ternary composite nanofiber membrane for wound dressing applications

In this study, chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol binary and tannic acid/chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol ternary composite nanofiber membranes from chitosan citric acid salt aqueous solutions without the use of toxic solvents through Forcespinning ® technology were successfully mass produced. Chitosan is being widely evaluated as a wound dressing material based on its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antibacterial properties. Tannic acid has been...
