Abstract

Abstract Chitosan is a biopolymer originating from renewable resources, with great properties which make it an attractive candidate for plenty of applications of contemporary interest. By manufacturing chitosan into nanofibers using the electrospinning method, its potential is amplified due to the enhancement of the active surface and the low preparation cost. Many attempts were made with the aim of preparing chitosan-based nanofibers with controlled morphology targeting their use for tissue engineering, wound healing, food packaging, drug delivery, air and water purification filters. This was a challenging task, which resulted in a high amount of data, sometimes with apparent contradictory results. In this light, the goal of the paper is to present the main routes reported in the literature for chitosan electrospinning, stressing the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of various electrospinning parameters on the morphological characteristics of the fibers and their suitability for distinct applications.

壳聚糖基纳米纤维的静电纺丝:从设计到应用前景

摘要壳聚糖是一种源自可再生资源的生物聚合物，具有优良的性能，是当前广泛应用的有吸引力的候选材料。静电纺丝法制备壳聚糖纳米纤维，由于其活性表面的增强和制备成本的降低，其潜力被放大。为了制备形态可控的壳聚糖基纳米纤维，人们进行了许多尝试，目标是将其用于组织工程、伤口愈合、食品包装、药物输送、空气和水净化过滤器。这是一项具有挑战性的任务，它产生了大量的数据，有时结果明显相互矛盾。鉴于此，本文的目的是介绍文献报道的壳聚糖静电纺丝的主要路线，并强调每种路线的优缺点。特别强调了各种静电纺丝参数对纤维形态特征的影响及其对不同应用的适用性。
