Chitosan is a modified natural polymer mainly produced from chitin, one of the most abundant organic materials in the world. Highly porous chitosan mats present the specific physicochemical properties of the base material and also benefit from the physical characteristics of nanoporous membranes. Electrospinning is a novel technique developed long time ago and revisited recently that can generate polymeric fibers with nanometric size.

520 $a Chitosan is a modified natural polymer mainly produced from chitin, one of the most abundant organic materials in the world. Highly porous chitosan mats present the specific physicochemical properties of the base material and also benefit from the physical characteristics of nanoporous membranes. Electrospinning is a novel technique developed long time ago and revisited recently that can generate polymeric fibers with nanometric size.
520 $a The ultimate purpose of this work is to fabricate microporous non-woven chitosan membranes for wound healing dressings and heavy metal ion removal from drinking water. In this dissertation, two approaches have been utilized to prepare chitosan-based nanofibers; blending and co-axial electrospinning of chitosan solution with a readily electrospinnable solution, i.e. an aqueous solution of polyethylene oxide (PEO).
520 $a Consequently, understanding the phase behavior and miscibility of aqueous acidic solutions of chitosan and PEO and their blends is of crucial importance, as any phase separation occurring during the electrospinning process greatly changes the morphology and physico-mechanical properties of the final products.
520 $a First we employed the rheological approach on a well-known aqueous PEO solution to develop the experimental protocol. By comparing these critical points with that obtained from other experimental techniques, we showed that rheological measurements can sensitively detect early stages of phase separation. Subsequently the method was applied to 50 wt% aqueous acetic acid solutions of PEO, chitosan and their blends at different ratios. These solutions showed a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase diagram that is attributed to the existence of hydrogen bonds between active groups on chitosan and PEO backbone and the solvent. Critical decomposition temperatures for binodal and spinodal points were estimated from isochronal temperature sweep experiments. The obtained binodal temperatures confirmed that chitosan/PEO solutions are miscible and stable at moderate temperatures and phase separate at higher temperatures of 60-75 °C.
520 $a Then, we intended to obtain a thorough understanding of chitosan/PEO solution properties that lead to a successful electrospinning process, i.e. continuous and stable, and which produces defect free uniform beadless nanofibers. The effect of blend composition and acetic acid concentration on properties such as surface tension and conductivity and, ultimately, on electrospinnability were investigated. A highly deacetylated chitosan (DDA=97.5 %) in 50% acetic acid was used, which is the maximum deacetylated chitosan grade that has been reported for the preparation of electrospun chitosan-based nanofibers. The rheological characteristics of the chitosan/PEO solutions as a controlling parameter in the electrospinning process were examined and their relationships to electrospinnability presented. As we showed that chitosan/PEO solutions are miscible and stable at moderate temperatures, a modified electrospinning set up to electrospin at temperatures of 25-70 °C was designed to achieve content as high as 90 wt% of chitosan in beadless chitosan/PEO nanofibers of 60-80 nm in diameter. It was also found that increasing chitosan/PEO ratio from 50/50 to 90/10 led to a remarkable diameter reduction from 123 to 63 nm at room temperature.
520 $a Additionally, we found that moderate process temperatures help to stabilize the electrospinning process of these solutions and produce beadless nanofibers. However, at higher temperatures, the electrospun jet became unstable and beaded fiber morphology was obtained. This phenomena occurs closely at the temperature range of phase separation, previously determined by rheology studies. Therefore, temperature-induced phase separation of these solutions is considered as the reason for that observation. On the other hand, an FTIR study at room temperature on cast films and nanofibers of chitosan/PEO blends at room temperature showed the presence of hydrogen bonding interactions between chitosan and PEO that could be an another indication of miscibility between these two polymers in solution at moderate temperatures.
520 $a Finally, in order to remove the blending step, reducing the amount of chitosan used and also to put chitosan right on the outer surface of the nanofibers for further related applications, a co-axial electrospinning technique was employed. By using a one-step co-axial electrospinning process, for the first time core-shell structured PEO-chitosan nanofibers from aqueous solutions were produced in which chitosan is located at the shell (outer layer) and PEO at the core (inner layer). Uniform sized defect-free nanofibers of 100-190 nm diameter were produced. The core-shell nanostructure and existence of chitosan on the shell layer were confirmed by TEM images obtained before and after washing the PEO content with water. The presence of chitosan on the surface of the composite nanofibers was further supported by XPS studies. Bulk and local compositional analysis is performed by thermal gravimetry (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques, respectively, to examine the homogeneity of the nanofibers. Additionally, it was shown that hollow chitosan nanofibers could be obtained by PEO washing of the co-axial PEO/chitosan nanofibers, which could also be of great interest in applications such as blood purification in hemodialysis.
