Enhancing mechanical properties of chitosan/PVA electrospun nanofibers: a comprehensive review
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2025, 16, 286–307, doi:10.3762/bjnano.16.22
- form gels, which complicates the electrospinning process. Repulsive forces between ionic groups due to high electric fields during electrospinning also tend to form discontinuous chitosan fibers [102]. Solvents used in the electrospinning of pure chitosan include hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, formic
- , multinozzle, and blend electrospinning. The resultant composite was made up of chitosan fibers as the bottom layer, co-electropun chitosan and PVA fibers as the middle layer, and blended PVA/nanobioglass fibers as the top layer. Emulsion electrospinning of chitosan/PVA was reported by Mouro’s research group
Wet-spinning of magneto-responsive helical chitosan microfibers
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2020, 11, 991–999, doi:10.3762/bjnano.11.83
- were prepared by wet-spinning and coagulation in an ethanol bath. Thereby, no toxic components were introduced into the wet-spun chitosan fibers. After drying, the helical fibers had a diameter of approximately 130 µm. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of wet-spun helices revealed that the magnetic

A few examples are the structural motifs in proteins and DNA at the molecular level
- immunogenicity [17] and, therefore, has become highly used in tissue regeneration [18][19]. Chitosan fibers are particularly well-suited for tissue engineering due to their highly porous scaffold architecture [20]. Using electrospinning, chitosan fibers can be produced with a diameter ranging from several tens
