Article Title: Electrospun Chitosan-Based Nanofibrous Coating for the Local and Sustained Release of Vancomycin

Figure Lengend Snippet: Microscopic characterization of nanofibrous mat SEM images of formulations of vancomycin nanofibers at magnifications of 5000x and corresponding size distribution histograms. (A) Formulation with chitosan in HFIP. (B) Formulation with chitosan and PVA in acetic acid solution (F2). (C) Formulation with chitosan and PEO in acetic acid solution (F4). Chitosan alone proved to be extremely difficult to spin due to its limited solubility (A), and for this reason, the addition of a copolymer such as PVA and PEO was explored to enhance the electrospinnability properties of chitosan (B,C).
