Electrospun Chitosan Based Nanofibers

The new electrospinning technology Nanospider TM , offering a real potential for industrial production of nanofibers, is used for the preparation of nanofiber sheets from aqueous solutions of polymer blends. The nanofiber sheets are prepared from a mixture of chitosan and polyethylenoxide (PEO) and using the novel continual electrospinning process (Jirsak et al ., 2005, www.nanospider.cz) affords a network with typical fiber diameters that are...
