Possibilities for Forming Nanofibers from Bombyx mori Chitosan

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the formation of nanofibers from Bombyx mori chitosan and high-molecular-weight crab chitosan via electrospinning.
• Utilized electrospinning techniques to create nanofibers and nanoparticles from chitosan materials.
• Conducted structural analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy to assess characteristics.
• Evaluated the feasibility of producing nanofibers from a solvent-based approach.
• Successfully formed nanofibers from Bombyx mori chitosan and HMWCh through electrospinning.
• Structural characteristics of both chitosans were analyzed, revealing distinct patterns via XRD and IR spectroscopy.
• Demonstrated the potential for creating nanoparticles alongside nanofibers.
