Engineering an adhesive based on photosensitive polymer hydrogels and silver nanoparticles for wound healing

Abstract

<p>Adhesives developed possess a good hemostatic effect. Attractively, agents loaded into the adhesives could exert sustained excellent antibacterial properties.</p>

Silver Nanoparticles Stable to Oxidation and Silver Ion Release Show Size-Dependent Toxicity In Vivo

“…There are over 1400 consumer and commercial products where silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are incorporated such as food packaging materials [1][2][3], waste-water treatment [4,5], topical ointments or wound healing gels [6][7][8][9][10], coatings on medical devices such as stents to prevent biofilm formation [11][12][13], paints, and anti-reflective coatings, and fabric cleaning chemicals [14][15][16]. The use of AgNPs in these applications predominantly rests on their superior antimicrobial properties [13,[17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

A graphene hybrid supramolecular hydrogel with high stretchability, self-healable and photothermally responsive properties for wound healing

“…[6][7][8] Furthermore, once the wounds become infected, cutaneous injuries are painful and problematic, leading to high treatment costs and causing negative effects on individual patients, their families, and societies. [9][10][11][12][13] In order to solve this problem, many wound dressing products, such as gauzes, nanobers, sponges, foams, and hydrogels, amongst others, have been fabricated to promote wound healing. [14][15][16][17] Among these products, hydrogels have emerged as a promising option, because they inherit a three-dimensional (3D) porous network, provide a moist environment that mimics the extracellular matrix (ECM) and can, therefore, facilitate the exchange of oxygen and nutrients, and bring about epidermal cell migration.…”

An Intermediate Unit‐Mediated, Continuous Structural Inheritance Strategy for the Dilemma between Injectability and Robustness of Hydrogels

“…These results indicated that the SIM system has good in situ hemostasis potential. Next, two additional bleeding models, the tail amputation model [ 39 ] and the femoral artery injury model [ 37 ] were constructed. (Figure 7A, III and IV).…”
