Abstract:Wound dressings play a critical role in healing by maintaining a moist environment and protecting against infection. Here, we fabricate crosslinked films of chitosan–polyvinyl alcohol–genipin–curcumin to investigate the synergistic wound-healing effect of genipin and curcumin. The chemical bonding, morphology, strength, water retention capacity, curcumin release characteristics, and cytotoxicity of the films were investigated. The results showed a 192% increase in tensile strength and good water retention, and… Show more
