Abstract
Remarkable composition, structure, formation, and function of natural or biological materials has served as an inspiration in the development of biomimetic and bioinspired membranes. Biomimetics deals with the fundamental principles associated with biological processes, while bioinspiration involves the implementation of these principles. Consequently, these two complementary and interchangeable approaches pave the way for sustainable innovation and development of advanced membrane technology. Chitosan is a nontoxic, antibacterial, biodegradable, and biocompatible biopolymer widely applicable in biomedicine for development of drug delivery devices, tissue engineering scaffolds, wound dressings, and antibacterial coatings. This chapter presents a brief overview on the recent advancements in the design and development of biomimetic and bioinspired membranes and the regenerative biomedical research on chitosan-based materials.
