摘要
Chitin and chitosan are natural polymers extracted from various plants and animals. In recent years, these two polymers have attracted much interest because of their biodegradability, biocompatibility, wound-healing acceleration and many other unique properties. As a natural renewable resource, they offer many potential applications in a number of diversified fields. Chitin and chitosan fibers have been found useful as biomaterial for potential applications such as sutures and wound dressings. This article presents a brief introduction to the properties of chitin and chitosan, and reviews the various attempts for the production of fibers from the two polymers.
