Abstract
Chitosan is of special interest for biotechnological and medical applications
due to its antibacterial, antifungal and other intrinsic physical and chemical properties.
The biopolymer can, e.g., be used for biotechnological purposes, as a filter medium, in
medical products, etc. In all these applications, the inner surface should be maximized
to increase the contact area with the filtered medium etc. and thus the chitosan’s
efficacy. Chitosan dissolves in acidic solutions, opposite to neutral water.
Electrospinning is possible, e.g., by co-spinning with PEO (poly(ethylene oxide)).
Tests with different chitosan:PEO ratios revealed that higher PEO fractions resulted in
better spinnability and more regular fibre mats, but make stabilization of the fibre
structure more challenging.
