Abstract EN
Chitosan membranes are widely applied for tissue engineering; however, a major drawback is their low resistance in aqueous phases and therefore the structure collapses impeding their long-term use.
Although there is extensive research, because of chitosan’s importance as a biomaterial, studies involving chitosan-based membranes are still needed.
Herein, a detailed investigation of diverse chemical routes to cross-link fibers in situ by electrospinning process is described.
In case of using genipin as cross-linker, a close relationship with the content and the mean diameter values is reported, suggesting a crucial effect over the design of nanostructures.
Also, the physical resistance is enhanced for the combination of two types of methods, such as chemical and physical methods.
Cross-linked fibers upon exposure to long wave ultraviolet A (UVA light) change their morphology, but not their chemical composition.
When they are incubated in aqueous phase for 70 days, they show an extensive improvement of their macrostructural integrity which makes them attractive candidates for tissue engineering application.
As a result, the thermal properties of these materials reveal less crystallinity and higher temperature of degradation.
