| Abstract: | Chitosan-based structures with high surface area have
been developed for their application in wound dressings. In such structures, the
next to skin layer is chitosan-based nanofibre formed by electrospinning
technique. Chitosan derivatives have been synthesized and electrospinning
trials of their solutions are conducted using different electrospinning
parameters
such as polymer concentration in electrospinning solution, solution feed rate
and electrical field strength. Contact
kill performance of the electrospun structures against a range of microbes is
studied using the disc diffusion method. The results indicate that the
developed nanofibre webs exhibit an excellent antimicrobial behavior.
