Chitosan (IMAGE)
Caption
The image taken with a scanning electron microscope shows a complex material system consisting of chitosan and nanocellulose. The chitosan scaffold was freeze casted with a cooling rate of 10 ° C/min. The scale is 100 μm. The aligned pores and ridges on the cell wall serve as a structure for repairing peripheral nerves, attracting axons or enabling other biomedical applications.
