eng Chitosan nanofibers and nanoparticles modified by microbial collagenase for biomedical application Biocompatible and biodegradable nanomaterials biofunctionalized by enzymes are material of interest in the biomedical field due to their potential application in wound healing. This work describes the production and characterization of electrospun chitosan nanofibers and chitosan/TPP nanoparticles as carriers for microbial collagenase. The morphology and the microstructure of nanofibers prepared by Nanospider technology were examined using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Low molecular weight chitosan/TPP nanoparticles prepared in different reagents ratios and characterized by DLS measurement showed size range 130 – 250 nm.
