• Highly aligned narrow diameter chitosan electrospun nanofibers (2013, background): “Owing to their fine diameter [9], large surface area per unit mass, high porosity, high gas permeability, and small interfibrous pore size [10], the randomly oriented NFs mats have found applications in filtration [11], wound dressing [12], drug delivery systems [13], and tissue engineering scaffold”
• Chitin and chitosan polymers: Chemistry, solubility and fiber formation (2009, methodology): “are also being used for electrospinning [442]), pH, concentration of CS viscosity, charge density, applied voltage, solution flow rate, distance from nozzle tip to collector surface and time play a role in the characteristics of theobtainednanofibrous structures [443].”
• A Review: Electrospinning of Biopolymer Nanofibers and their Applications (2008, methodology): “Homogenous bead-free fibers from chitosan10 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Japan) were electrospun by Ohkawa et al. (2004)177 using a solution of 70/30 TFA/ dichloromethane (MC).”
• Functional electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds for biomedical applications. (2007, neutral): “Other polysaccharides, such as dextran [66], chitosan (chitin) [67–70] and cellulose acetate [71–75], have also been fabricated to form nanofibers by electrospinning.”
• Novel antibacterial fibers of quaternized chitosan and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) prepared by electrospinning (2007, methodology): “The preparation of electrospun chitosan-containing nano-fibers has been achieved from mixed chitosan/ polyoxyethylene solutions [10,11], from chitosan/silk fibroin solutions [9], as well as from mixed chitosan/ poly(vinyl alcohol) solutions [12,13].”
