Abstract
⺠Multilayers of CS/MWCNTs and CS/ALG can be successfully assembled onto the surface of CA nanofibers. ⺠Multilayer assembly of CS/MWCNTs and CS/ALG leads to increased surface roughness of the CA nanofibers. ⺠Incorporation of MWCNTs enables improved mechanical property of the multilayered CA fibrous scaffolds. ⺠Multilayered CA fibrous scaffolds incorporated with MWCNTs tend to promote fibroblast attachment, spreading, and proliferation. ⺠Hemocompatibility of CA nanofibers does not have significant changes after the assembly of multilayers.
