摘要
Chitosan is a natural polymer widely studied and often considered as a suited biomaterial for the construction of nerve guidance channels for peripheral nerve injuries. These tubes can take the shape of hollow tubes that bridge the gap between the distal and proximal nerve stumps, creating optimal conditions towards the regeneration of the peripheral nerve. In this work, several geometric models of chitosan tubes were constructed and numerically simulated using advanced discretization techniques. The results show the structural response of these scaffolds when submitted to flexion.
