Polycaprolactone-Chitin Nanofibrous Mats as Potential Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
Figure 1
(a) Viscosity of 5% (wt/v) PCL, chitin and their blends with volume ratios of PCL : chitin of 100 : 0, 70 : 30, 50 : 50, and 30 : 70 (PCL, P7C3, P5C5, and P3C7 solutions, resp.). The viscosity of polymeric solutions was determined at 10°C with constant shear stress of 1 Pa. SEM images of (b) nonneutralized and (c) neutralized P5G5 nanofibrous mats immersing in PBS at 37°C for 3 hours. Scale bar is 10 μm.
