Article Synopsis
- A new type of biohydrogel, called Bio-PEC hydrogel, is created by mixing two oppositely charged polysaccharides (chitosan and hyaluronate) with a photoinitiator and crosslinker, resulting in a strong, elastic material.
- The manufacturing process includes kneading and annealing to ensure the polymer chains form tightly wound structures, which are further crosslinked using UV light, leading to the final hydrogel's impressive properties like elasticity and swelling resistance.
- Additionally, by incorporating metal nanoclusters into the hydrogel, a composite material (Fe-TCPP@HACC/HA) is developed that shows antibacterial effects and promotes wound healing, making it a promising option for medical applications like wound
