Preparation of Carboxymethyl Chitosan Bombyx Mori Nanofibers by Electrospinning Process

摘要

In this study, the electrospinning of carboxymethyl chitosan isolated from silkworm Bombyx mori has been investigated. For this purpose, samples of carboxymethylchitosan were synthesized, and their molecular mass characteristics were also studied. Distilled water, acetic and trifluoroacetic acids were used as solvents in the preparation of polymer solutions. The nanofibrous structure based on carboxymethylchitosan in the solvent trifluoroacetic acid with an average diameter of nanofibers of 156–282 nm was obtained by varying the conditions of the electrospinning process.
