Title: | Novel nanofibrous scaffold to improve wound healing | Authors: | Mak, EYW Leung, WWF |
Issue Date: | 2013 | Publisher: | American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) | Source: | ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, Proceedings (IMECE), 2013, v. 3 B How to cite? | Abstract: | An antibacterial and biocompatible scaffold for fibroblasts proliferation based on chitosan has been developed. Chitosan solution is electrospun into uniform fibers of 100-200 nm in diameter that mimic the extracellular matrix of human skin. The fibrous mats are successfully cross-linked to be stable in acidic solution, which can be used to treat acute wounds. The crosslinked fibrous mats display antibacterial properties toward Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli. The mechanical properties of fibrous mats are shown to be comparable to native skin dermis which protects the skin wound. | Description: | ASME 2013 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, IMECE 2013, San Diego, CA, 15-21 November 2013 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10397/31433 | ISBN: | 9780791856222 | DOI: | 10.1115/IMECE2013-64223 |
