Objective To prepare a variety of complex films with alginate , chitosan , and cel-lulose of different origins in order to identify the optimal film for tissue engineering skin .Methods The sodium alginate , chitosan and cellulose ( cotton, wood and bamboo ) solutions were prepared re-spectively.The complex films were prepared by using the cellulose (cotton, wood and bamboo) film as the basement , and then casting one layer of sodium alginate and another layer of chitosan on the basement in turn.Fluorescence inverted microscopy was used to observe the microstructures of the three kinds of comp...
