Co-extrusion electrospinning as novel tool for the next generation wound dressings: taking ultimate control over the dressing mechanical and release properties. Ghent University
In the present project, novel hydrogel-based wound dressings will be developed exhibiting antibacterial properties. To date, two critical issues associated with wound dressings are to be tackled: the inferior mechanical properties and the uncontrolled release of bio-active compounds. The starting materials for developing novel wound dressings will include polysaccharides (i.e. alginate and chitosan) for controlling the moisture content of ...
