Jayakumar R et al (2010) Novel chitin and chitosan nanofibers in biomedical applications. 

Chitin and chitosan nanofibers, methods for their preparation as weU as their potential biomedical applications, including dressing materials, have been recently reviewed by Pillai et al. [Ill] and Jayakumar et al. (2008). Nevertheless, most of the reported chitin and chitosan nanofiber developments are still at the laboratory scale level thus, optimization of the production process and performance of the fibers are necessary before large-scale manufacturing and commercialization.
