Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this study, we aimed to produce nonwoven wound‐dressing films made of Antheraea mylitta (tasar) silk fibroin by a solution‐casting method. These nonwoven films were finished with chitosan solutions of different concentrations ranging from 0.75 to 2% w/v with a pad–dry method to fabricate nonwoven composite films. Chitosan‐finished tasar fibroin nonwoven composite films (CMTFFs) showed higher mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties as compared to nonwoven tasar fibroin. The physical, structural, and thermal properties of the films were investigated. The hemocompatibility, cytocompatibility, and biodegradation tests showed that the CMTFF was a promising material for use as a wound dressing. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
