Rheological study of genipin cross-linked chitosan hydrogels.
This paper reports the rheological behavior of chitosan solutions that have been cross-linked with different amounts of genipin, at body temperature and physiological pH. The effect of the cross-linker loading on the rheological properties of hydrogels has been evaluated. The oscillatory time sweep method was used to monitor the dynamic viscoelastic parameters during in situ (i.e., in the rheom...
متن کاملGenipin cross-linked electrospun chitosan-based nanofibrous mat as tissue engineering scaffold
Objective(s): To improve water stability of electrospun chitosan/ Polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers, genipin, a biocompatible and nontoxic agent, was used to crosslink chitosan based nanofibers. Materials and Methods: Different amounts of genipin were added to the chitosan/PEO solutions, chitosan/PEO weight ratio 90/10 in 80 % acetic acid, and the solutions were then electrospun to form nano...
متن کاملEffects of genipin cross-linking of chitosan hydrogels on cellular adhesion and viability.
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of genipin (Gp) cross-linking of chitosan (CHI) hydrogels on the cell adhesion and viability. METHOD Series of Gp crosslinked CHI hydrogels were prepared by incubation of solutions containing a mixture of Gp and CHI in different ratios. The resulting hydrogels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), parallel...
متن کاملSilicate cross-linked bio-nanocomposite hydrogels from PEO and chitosan.
The compositions and the multi phase structures of bio-nanocomposite hydrogels made from silicate cross-linked PEO and chitosan are related to some of their physical and biological properties. The gels are injectable and self-healing because the cross-linking is physical and reversible under deformation. The presence of chitosan aggregates affects the viscoelastic properties and reinforces the ...
متن کاملFluorescence Imaging in Genipin Crosslinked Chitosan–Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Hydrogels
Recent research has identified genipin as a promising natural crosslinking agent for biocompatible hydrogels as genipin is significantly less cytotoxic than current synthetic crosslinking agents, such as glutaraldehyde. Conveniently, fluorophores can be produced when genipin crosslinks. In this study, fluorescence intensity measurements of genipin crosslinked chitosan-poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) hy...
