Abstract
Electrospun chitosan fibers are of great interest for various biomedical applications such as tissue engineering scaffolds, drug delivery, implant coatings, and wound dressings. Chitosan, a naturally occurring positively charged polysaccharide, is advantageous for biomedical applications due to several material characteristics including biodegradability, biocompatibility, and bacteriostatic properties. Electrospinning techniques have been widely used to create nanofibers from this natural polymer. Due to high porosity, which results in large surface area, these nanofibers have novel applications in biomedical fields. This chapter will emphasize the challenges and success in the production of electrospun chitosan nanofibers, its processing parameters, and its potential applications in clinical and industrial fields.
