Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds have great potential for many biomedical applications. In the present study, we fabricated and characterized chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (Chi/PVA) nanofibrous scaffolds through electrospinning. Cross-linking was performed using chemically with 5 % glutaraldehyde vapor. The morphology and chemical banding of the electrospun nanofibers before and after cross-linking were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Attenuated Total ReflectanceFourier Transform InfraRed (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. SEM micrographs and FTIR spectra showed that the cross-linking process was accomplished successfully. With the biocompatibility and non-toxicity of chitosan and PVA, it is expected that this electrospun nanofibrous scaffold could be an excellent candidate for biomedical applications. Keywords: electrospinning, chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol, cross-linking Mre`e iz elektro spredenih nanovlaken imajo velik potencial za uporabo v biomedicini. V {tudiji smo izdelali in karakterizirali nanovlaknasto mre`o, izdelano z elektro predenjem nanovlaken iz hitosan/polivinil alkohola (Chi/PVA). Zamre`enje je bilo izdelano s pomo~jo kemijske metode s 5 % glutaraldehidne pare. Morfologija in kemijsko povezovanje elektro predenih nanovlaken, pred in po zamre`enju, sta bila ocenjena z uporabo vrsti~nega elektronskega mikroskopa (SEM) in z metodo z oslabljenim odbojem infrarde~e spektroskopije s Fourierjevo transformacijo (ATR-FTIR). SEM-posnetki in FTIR-spekter sta pokazala, da je bil postopek zamre`enja uspe{no dose`en. Glede na biokompatibilnost in netoksi~nost hitosana in PVA se pri~akuje, da bodo mre`e iz elektro spredenih nanovlaken odli~en element za uporabo v biomedicini.
