Abstract:For the present work, polylactic acid yarn (140 denier) was used for the production of bandage. The physical properties of fabric were measured. Chitosan-sodium alginate, calcium alginate-sodium alginate polymer and their blends were coated separately on the bandage to incorporate wound healing, haemostatic, easy removal, biocompatibility and antibacterial property. The polymer-coated samples were subjected to scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. Bact… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
