Abstract
In this work the synthesis and characterization of polyurethane (PU)-chitosan(CH) porous prepared by thermal induced phase separation (TIPS) is described, the obtained products were characterized by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), evidence of the interaction between both polymers was acquired from infrared spectroscopy. The morphology of the scaffolds was studied by scanning electron microscopy also the mechanical properties were acquired. The results showed that the TIPS technique is appropriate for the production of PU-CH porous materials.
