Preparation of chitosan scaffolds for tissue engineering using supercritical fluid technology

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of preparing chitosan porous matrixes using supercritical fluid technology. Supercritical immersion precipitation technique was used to prepare scaffolds of a natural biocompatible polymer, chitosan, for tissue engineering purposes. The physicoch...
