Melt processing of chitosan-based fibers and fiber-mesh scaffolds for the engineering of connective tissues

We report the production of chitosan-based fibers and chitosan fiber-mesh structures by melt processing (solvent-free) to be used as tissue-engineering scaffolds. The melt-based approach used to produce the scaffolds does not change their main characteristics, including the surface roughness and mic...
