Direct chitosan scaffold formation via chitin whiskers by a supercritical carbon dioxide method: a green approach†
Abstract
The wide array of tissue-engineering applications enhances the need for biodegradable materials with broad potential. Chitosan, the partially deacetylated derivative of chitin, may be one such material. This research studies the morphology and characterization of porous structures produced from chitin for use as a scaffold for
