Abstract
null null Physically cross-linked hydrogels are used as scaffolds in tissue engineering applications because they are easily produced and avoid the potential toxicity produced by chemical cross-linkers. The physical hydrogels' formation involves several physical interactions as molecular entanglements, hydrogen bonding, ionic, and hydrophobic interactions. Chitosan is a cationic, non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable polysaccharide...
