Abstract :
[en] Composite Crosslinked nanofibrous membranes of chitosan, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) and polyethy- 10 lene oxide was successfully prepared with bead free morphology via electrospinning technique followed by heat mediated 11 chemical crosslinking. Architectural stability of nanofiber mat in aqueous medium was achieved by chemical crosslinking of 12 only 1% EGDE, and tensile strength tests revealed that increasing EGDE content has considerably enhance the elastic modu- 13 lus of nanofibers. The structure, morphology and mechanical properties of nanofibers were characterized by Attenuated Total 14 Reflection-Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (ATR–FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Instron machine, 15 respectively. Skin fibroblasts and endothelial cells showedgood attachment, proliferation and viability on crosslinked electrospun 16 membranes. The results indicate a good biocompatibility and non-toxic nature of the resulted membrane.
