The biomineralization of pristine chitosan film without any prior surface treatment was
evaluated by immersing the film in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37° C for 3 weeks. The film …

Surface modifications of thin films based on chitosan (Ch), pure Ch and either
Ch/montmorillonite (MMT) or Ch/nanoclay composites, were characterised by infrared …

We develop a novel chitosan–citric acid film (abbreviated as CS–CA) suitable for biomedical
applications in this study. In this CS–CA film, the citric acid, which is a harmless organic acid …

Chitosan, which is a non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible biopolymer, has been
widely researched for several applications in the field of biomaterials. Calcium phosphate …

Chitosan-based material has been widely used as bone substitute due to its good
biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, the hydrophobic surface of chitosan film …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) film atop artificial implants surface can provide bioactive,
osteoconductive and bone-similar interface. Traditional technique utilizes collagen coating …

Recently, surgeries to regenerate nerves with using artificial conduits were experimentally
performed when peripheral nerves were injured in accidents. The conduits are tubes …

A chitosan membrane modified with silanol groups and calcium ions on its surface and in its
structure, respectively, was newly developed and evaluated for the potential application as a …

This study examined the effect of chitosan degree of deacetylation (DDA), concentration of
simulated body fluid (SBF), and mineralization time on the composition, structure, and …

Chitosan, produced from chitin, is one of the polymers with promising applications in various
fields. However, despite diverse research studies conducted on its biocompatibility, its uses …
