A Study of Combining Elastin in the Chitosan Electrospinning to Increase the Mechanical Strength and Bioactivity

While electrospun chitosan membranes modified to retain nanofibrous morphology have shown promise for use in guided bone regeneration applications in in vitro and in vivo studies, their mechanical tear strengths are lower than commercial collagen membranes. Elastin, a natural component of the extrac...
