Abstract
In recent decades, chitosan is emerging as a promising functional biopolymer for the fabrication of biomaterials in various forms due to having immense structural possibilities for chemical and mechanical modification and superior biocompatibility, biodegradability, antimicrobial activity, and nontoxic properties. Such extraordinary properties make chitosan-based biomaterials suitable for several biomedical applications, especially for tissue engineering, wound healing, drug delivery, gene delivery, regenerative medicine, etc. Biomaterials for these applications are designed into desirable forms such as scaffolds, sponges, gels, films, particles, and so on. These forms can be fabricated by various techniques such as solvent casting, electrospinning, emulsification, lyophilization, 3D printing, gelation, cross-linking, etc. Researchers are incessantly modifying these fabrication techniques to elicit remarkable functional properties from these available forms. This chapter highlights a detailed study on available techniques and designs of fabricating biomaterials tailored with chitosan and its composites.
