Functional wound dressings alginate fibers

YiminQinis Professor of Chemical Engineering at Jiaxing College, China. He specializes in research and development of alginate fibers, chitosan fibers, functional wound dressings, and marine biomedical materials, and has published more than 100 research papers and obtained seven US patents in this area. 

Significant improvement of functional properties has been reported for fibers obtained from blends of chitin with various natural polymers such as cellulose, silk fibroin and glycosaminoglycans [48, 50, 51]. Fibers of chitosan blended with alginate, collagen and gelatin have been evaluated for wound dressing and artificial skin applications [52, 53, 108, 136].
