Objective
On the European market there is a lack of innovative biomaterials that aid in regeneration of wound tissue. The project: aims the design and development: of optimal textile forms for medical applications made from dibutyrylchitin (DBC) and chitin, from fishery byproducts. Recently a method for the synthesis of dibutyrylchitin is developed. DBC is easily soluble in common recyclable solvents and has film/fibre forming properties. Chitin can be regenerated (RC). The products are assumed to have wound healing properties. This opens the way for the development of novel functional biomaterials made from DBC and RC. Technologies for the production of fibres, yarns, non-wovens and knittings will be developed. The textiles will be designed to requirements and characterised on mechanical, physico-chemical and biochemical-medical (in vitro, in vivo) properties. Initiations for approval of medical products will be made.
