Synthesis and characterization of natural fibers reinforced alginate hydrogel fibers loaded with diclofenac sodium for wound dressings
Hydrogels which become increasingly important in the biomedical field are composed of a three-dimensional hydrophilic network. Pure hydrogels are usually weak and brittle; therefore, reinforcements are assimilated into the ... -
Synthesis and characterization of nonwoven cotton-reinforced cellulose hydrogel for wound dressings
Ahmad, Faheem; Mushtaq, Bushra; Butt, Faaz Ahmed; Zafar, Muhammad Sohail; Ahmad, Sheraz; Afzal, Ali; Nawab, Yasir; Rasheed, Abher; Ülker, Zeynep (MDPI, 2021)Hydrogels wound dressings have enormous advantages due to their ability to absorb high wound exudate, capacity to load drugs, and provide quick pain relief. The use of hydrogels as wound dressings in their original form ...
