Definitions
- the invention relates to method for production of nanofibres through electrostatic spinning of polymer matrices prepared upon biopolymers of chitosan or collagen.
- the invention relates to fabric comprising at least one layer of nanofibres produced through electrostatic spinning of biopolymer of chitosan or collagen.
- Biopolymers feature a number of unique properties thanks to which they are suitable for application in medicine, first of all thanks to its biocompatibility and nontoxicity. Important is their application e.g. for production of bandages and plasters, but also for implants and antiadhesive mats, where they expressively decrease the risk of occurrence of postoperative adhesions between the tissues, further in dental medicine, cosmetics and surgery plastic for filling of dermatic or bone defects. Some of the biopolymers are biodegradable, that means decomposable e.g. by action of enzymes.
- the nanofibrous materials of biopolymers are of a high porosity as well as of a specific surface, are penetrable for oxygen but not penetrable for microbes, at the same time they preserve all above mentioned properties of the used biopolymers.
- Biopolymer nanofibres are suitable e.g. for healing of burns, when they ensure an optimum humidity at healing and simultaneous removal of exudate from the wound, further for the bandage materials, plasters, etc.
- chitosan is the polycationic polysaccharide composed of ⁇ -(1 ⁇ 4) 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosic and 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosic units.

It is also used in biotechnologies for purification of waste waters or liquids, e.g. beer, wine or milk.
- chitosan Most types of chitosan are insoluble in water, but soluble in organic acids with pH of solution lower than 5. Most frequently are as solvent used the acetic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, etc.
- chitosan At present great number of scientific laboratories and institutions deal with chitosan.

- the nanofibres from chitosan are produced by means of spinning devices with needle or jet spinning electrode.
- WO2007093805A1 discloses production of composite fibres from chitosan and alginate, where the maximum content of chitosan reaches 80%, whereas the chitosan fibres coat the surface of alginate fibres. Due to the diameter of fibres, which is 50 ⁇ m, these fibres are not nanofibres.
- WO2006133118A1 generally deals with biopolymers in a nanofibrous form, where alternate the nanofibrous layers of polymer soluble in water and insoluble in water. Diameters of produced nanofibres are in the range of 1 to 25000 nm, which is not the nano dimension any more.

At higher voltage nanofibres defects occur, when lower concentration of acid is used the problems with too high surface tension of polymer solution arise. As a spinning electrode the nozzle is used and the achieved diameter of nanofibres is 130 nm.
- Another possible method for production of nanofibres from chitosan is spinning of chitosan solution with addition of polyvinyl alcohol, like Lei Li and his group (Carbohydrate Polymers, Vol. 62, 2006, p. 142-158) deals with.
- the original solution is composed of mixture PVA/chitosan in ratio 83/17 (w/w) in 2% acetic acid, while the achieved diameter of nanofibres is 20 to 100 nm. Then PVA is removed from nanofibres through leaching in NaOH.

- Constant quality results at spinning are achieved if the solvent system comprises the acetic acid.
- chitosan of molecular weight lower than 150 kDa is before spinning dissolved in acetic acid of concentration higher than 50% wt. together with auxiliary nontoxic polymer PEO.
- the fibres of chitosan may be produced also without addition of PEO, as it is shown in the claim 5 .
- collagen is before spinning dissolved in the solvent system comprising the diluted acetic acid and the auxiliary polymer PEO or PVA soluble in water having concentration of 1 to 3%.
- the constant good spinning results are achieved, if the biopolymer solution in electric electrostatic field for spinning is positioned on surface of the active zone of spinning mean of the spinning electrode.
- biopolymer solution is delivered to electrostatic field for spinning through surface of the spinning electrode.
- the spinning electrode is with advantage formed of a rotating spinning electrode of an oblong shape, which by section of its perimeter extends into the biopolymer solution.

- biopolymer solution in electrostatic field for spinning is situated on surface of the active spinning zone of the spinning means.
- Active spinning zone of the cord during spinning has a stable position towards the collecting electrode and biopolymer solution to the active spinning zone of the cord is delivered by applying or by a motion of the cord in direction of its length.
- Chitosan is dissolved solitary or in mixture with auxiliary nontoxic polymer, especially the one soluble in water, which is in ideal case biocompatible and biodegradable.
- the example is polyvinylalcohol, polyethylene oxide or polyvinylpyrrolidone.
- Chitosan is used in the concentration of 5-25 wt. % in dependence on the solvent system, which is formed of organic or inorganic acid, especially the acetic acid, while concentration of acetic acid is higher than 30% and lower than 90%. Further the lactic acid, malic acid and trihydrogen phosphoric acid or their mixtures may be used.
- the ratio of chitosan and of the auxiliary polymer is higher than 90:10 to the dry mass of nanofibres.

- the device for electrostatic spinning of polymer solutions comprising the spinning electrode, which comprises the rotatably mounted spinning means extending by a portion of its perimeter into the biopolymer solution being present in the reservoir.
- the rotatable spinning means due to its rotation carries out the biopolymer solution into electrostatic field of a high intensity, which is created by difference of potentials between the spinning electrode and against it arranged collecting electrode, while the section of surface of the rotating spinning means positioned against the collecting electrode represents the active spinning zone of the spinning means.
- the biopolymer solution is to be found in electrostatic field on surface of the active spinning zone of the spinning means of the spinning electrode.
- the rotatable spinning means may be performed for example according to the CZ patent 294274 or according to CZ PV 2006-545 or CZ PV 2007-485.
- Collagen of the type I underwent spinning from its solution in diluted acetic acid, so that halogen solvents, which may cause problems in medicine applications, were not used.
- the residua of acetic acid may be removed by a short term warming of the nanofibrous material.
- the nanofibres of collagen may be reticulated by the same means as chitosan. Achieved weight ratio of colagenu and auxiliary polymer is higher than 90:10.

After stabilising it is mixed with mixture of auxiliary in water soluble polymer like the PEO of molecular weight 300000-400000 and concentration 1-3% at temperature to 35° C., humidity to 60%, and this solution is delivered into electrostatic field between the spinning electrode and collecting electrode.
- auxiliary in water soluble polymer like the PEO of molecular weight 300000-400000 and concentration 1-3% at temperature to 35° C., humidity to 60%
- collagen Before spinning, collagen is dissolved in solvent system comprising the acetic acid 87, 5% of weight, the auxiliary polymer (PEO or PVA) soluble in water (concentration of 1-3%) at temperature to 35° C., humidity to 60% and this solution is brought into electrostatic field between the spinning electrode and collecting electrode.

- the chitosan as well as collagen nanofibres provide a large possibilities of application, first of all in medicine, and thanks to possibility of nearly any surface density of nanofibres they may be applicable also as substrateless materials, antiadhesive mats, plasters, implants and fillings of undesired bone or dermal defects. Chitosan thanks to hemostatic effects may be used at operation or in dental medicine to stop bleeding along reduction of economic costs and simultaneous speeding of wound healing.
- Colagen nanofibres will surely find their application solitary as replacement of damaged ligaments, tendons and cartilages or at injury of backbone, e.g. the intervertebral plate, or also for coating of implants, which reduces the negative immunity response of organism after introduction of a foreign element into the body.
