Thermal behavior of electrospun gelatin and chitosan complex

This paper studied the thermal behavior of gelatin, chitosan, and their complex. Thermal stability was analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis, and the results showed that gelatin and chitosan raw materials exhibited two decomposition stages while as-electrospun nanofibrous mats had three...
