In addition to PEG-based chitosan composites, temperature-sensitive chitosan composites have also been developed for tissue engineering applications by grafting of pluronics onto chitosan. This composite material formed a thermosensitive hydrogel that exhibited a transition temperature of 30-35°C when the grafting percentage was altered (Chung et al, 2005b). These thermosensitive...
