Abstract:Medical cotton gauzes were modified by grafting poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-maleic anhydride) (gauze-g-(PVCL-co-MA)) through free radical polymerization to prepare a novel wound dressing with antimicrobial and drug delivery capabilities. Several gauze-g-(PVCL-co-MA) were synthesized, each with distinct grafting percentages. For characterization, the selected percentages were 23, 40, and 100%, designated as VMG1, VMG2, and VMG3, respectively. Polymer grafting was verified using methods such as Fourier Transform … Show more
