Description
Bianca-Iustina Andreica and a large team of co-authors study chitosan nanofibers for wound dressings in two thousand twenty-three. Chitosan is a natural polymer, and here it is paired with a modified form called quaternized chitosan. The team asked how the fibers behave in fluids that mimic wound exudate.
The fibers took up moisture well and released it as humidity changed, showing good breathability. In water and buffer, the modified part leached out, while little plain chitosan dissolved. With an enzyme present, the fibers broke down at rates set by mix and acidity, losing up to about half their mass. In healing-like fluid they still absorbed moisture, and in normal-tissue fluid they fully degraded. A math model captured the decay pattern.
