Chitosan, the second most abundant natural polymer, is a linear polysaccharide frequently used in biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. The objective of this research work was to synthesize scaffolds with higher mechanical properties that are used for craniofacial defects. Microparticles were made by adding 2% low molecular weight chitosan (w/v) solution in 2% acetic acid dropwise into 1% (w/v)...
