Bioactivity and viscoelastic characterization of chitosan/ bioglass® composite membranes

Membranes of chitosan (CTS) and composite membranes of CTS with bioglass are prepared by solvent casting. The composite membranes are shown to induce the precipitation of apatite upon immersion in SBF. The biomineralization process is followed by measuring the variation of the viscoelastic propertie...
