摘要
In this study we described the optical properties of Chitosan as a biomaterial using light polarization Mueller analytical model which are not well understood by conventional characterization techniques. Despite the physical, mechanical and chemical properties measured by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) Spectroscopy, optical properties are very useful to investigate the biodegradable Chitosan based scaffolds in tissue engineering. It has been observed from the SEM, XRD, FTIR and polarimetric results (diattenuation, retardance, depolarization, and degree of polarization) that Chitosan has porosity, amorphous, compactable and anisotropic material.
