Abstract

Marine biopolymers have emerged as promising materials for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity. This study explores the integration of marine-derived biopolymers, such as chitosan, alginate, and carrageenan, into electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds for use in tissue engineering and wound healing. By combining the advantageous properties of marine biopolymers with the versatile fabrication technique of electrospinning, the study aims to enhance the structural and functional properties of the resulting nanofibrous scaffolds. The results demonstrate improved mechanical strength, porosity, and cell adhesion properties of the composite nanofibers, making them ideal candidates for applications in tissue regeneration and drug delivery. The study discusses the critical factors influencing scaffold performance, including polymer concentration, electrospinning parameters, and the bioactive properties of the marine biopolymers, highlighting the potential for further optimization and clinical translation.
