• Chitosan-based biomaterials for tissue engineering (2013, background): “The addition of UHMWPEO to chitosan ESP solution allows forming fibers ranging from less than an hundred nanometers to a few tens micrometers [148], while adding PVP allows decreasing the diameter of chitosan-based fibers [153].”
• Antimicrobial properties of chitosan and mode of action: a state of the art review. (2010, background): “One study reported found the crosslinked QCh/PVP (quaternized chitosan/poly vinyl pyrrolidone) electrospun materialswere efficient in inhibiting growth of Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria (Ignatova et al., 2007).”
