Production and characterization of chitosan fibers and 3-D fiber mesh scaffolds for tissue engineering applicattions

This study reports on the production of chitosan fibers and 3-D fiber meshes for the use as tissue engineering scaffolds. Both structures were produced by means of a wet spinning technique. Maximum strain at break and tensile strength of the developed fibers were found to be 8.5% and 204.9 MPa, resp...
