Chitosan films for regenerative medicine: fabrication methods and mechanical characterization of nanostructured chitosan films

Regenerative medicine is continuously facing new challenges and it is searching for new biocompatible, green/natural polymer materials, possibly biodegradable and non-immunogenic. Moreover, the critical importance of the nano/microstructuring of surfaces is overall accepted for their full biocompatibility and in vitro/in vivo performances. Chitosan is emerging as a promising biopolymer for tissue engineering and its application can be further...
