Electrospun chitosan/hydroxyapatite nanofibers for bone tissue engineering

Chitosan (CS) nanofibers were prepared by an electrospinning technique and then treated with simulated body fluid (SBF) to encourage hydroxyapatite (HA) formation on their surface. The CS/HA nanofibers were subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS),...
