In the field of medical research, the development of safe and effective wound dressings is a
continuous goal. Chitosan (CS) is highly sought after because of its unique biocompatibility …

Electrospinning is one of the most promising techniques for generating porous, nonwoven,
and submicron fiber-based membranes for various applications such as catalysis, sensing …

Traditional wound dressings mainly participate in the passive healing processes and are
rarely engaged in active wound healing by stimulating skin cell behaviors. Electrical …

Over the last decade, much interest has been developed in biopolymer based materials due
to their biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic and non-allergenic nature. Chitosan is a …

The wound healing process involves highly complex and dynamic events that allow the re-
establishment of skin's structural integrity. To further improve or to overcome the drawbacks …

Derived from chitin, chitosan is a unique biopolymer that exhibits outstanding properties,
beside biocompatibility and biodegradability. Most of these peculiar properties arise from the …

Abstract Chitin (CT), the well-known natural biopolymer and chitosan (CS)(bio-based or
“artificial polymer”) are non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible in nature. The …

Polysulfone (PSF) membranes have been widely used for wastewater treatment due to their
desired properties like stability, high mechanical strength and ease of modification. The …

Wound dressing is one of the most promising medical applications for chitin and chitosan.
The adhesive nature of chitin and chitosan, together with their antifungal and bactericidal …

Chitin is the second most important natural polymer in the world. The main sources exploited
are two marine crustaceans, shrimp and crabs. Our objective is to appraise the state of the …
