Our objective in this work was to summarize the main results obtained in processing pure chitosan and chitosan/hyaluronan complex in view of biomedical applications, taking advantage of their original properties. In addition, an electrospinning technique was selected to prepare nanofiber mats well adapted for tissue engineering in relation to the large porosity of the materials, allowing an exchange with the environment. The optimum conditions for preparation of purified and stable nanofibers in aqueous solution and phosphate buffer pH = 7.4 are described. Their mechanical properties and degree of swelling are given. Then, the prepared biomaterials are investigated to test their advantage for chondrocyte development after comparison of nanofiber mats and uniform films. For that purpose, the adhesion of cells is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) using single-cell force spectroscopy, showing the good adhesion of chondrocytes on chitosan. At the end, adhesion and proliferation of chondrocytes in vitro are examined and clearly show the interest of chitosan nanofiber mats compared to chitosan film for potential application in tissue engineering.

Silk fibroin, gelatin, and chitosan blended solution in formic acid with different composition ratios were electrospun. The fiber could be produced from SF:G : C blended solution at weight blending ratios (%wt: %wt: ml) of 10:20:0, 10:20:0.5, 10:20;1, 10:20:1.5, 10:20:2, and 20:10:1. When the chitosan content in blended solution increased, the average diameter decreased from 245 to 100 nm and fiber size distribution was narrow. The SF: G: C solution at ratio of 10:20:1 under high electric field and long spinning distance provided the continuous and uniform fibers. The formic acid as solvent did not affect to the electrospinnability and morphology of SF: G: C blended nanofiber. Tensile strength of SF: G: C (10:20:1) blended nanofiber was decreased with increasing of silk fibroin content, SF: G: C (20:10:1). The results indicated that SF: G: C electrospun nanofiber mats could be prepared and have a potential to be applied in membrane application.
