Chitosan (CS) is a natural polymer with numerous advantages in biomedical applications. However, its poor mechanical strength and rapid biodegradation are significant limitations. Its properties are improved by blending with polycaprolactone (PCL) and genipin cross‐linking. It results in a 350% increase in tensile strength compared to pure CS scaffolds

Structural and Material Properties of Chitin Nanofibers Produced Without Deacetylation Treatment
In this study, we prepared chitin nanofibers with a width of several nanometers without the need for a deacetylation process. We examined their structural properties, such as their morphology, surface charge, colloidal stability, and material performance, including their emulsifying capabilities and film properties, by comparing them with those of ...
