Photopolymerization of sustainable HEMA-citronellol copolymer hydrogels: in silico evaluation, physicochemical properties, and antibacterial performance
The experimental and computational findings demonstrate that the properties of poly(HEMA-co-citronellol) hydrogels can be tailored through compositional control for potential wound dressing applications.
Overall, the ternary formulation showed higher peak compressive strength, significantly lower equilibrium swelling, favorable extract-based cytocompatibility, and preliminary antibacterial activity under the tested conditions, which support further investigation of this material as an antibacterial wound-dressing candi...

Photocrosslinked gelatin methacryloyl/methacrylated chitosan (GelMA/CSMA) hydrogels are attractive for biomedical applications but are limited by insufficient mechanical strength. Here, γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) was prehydrolyzed and condensed to generate siloxane species retaining polymerizable metha...

Hydrogel wound dressings are promising for managing infected wounds due to their biocompatibility, high water absorption and ability to deliver therapeutic agents. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL)/chitosan (CS) hydrogels were developed and loaded with amphotericin B (AmB) and/or hydroalcoholic extract of

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)/Eudragit L100 composite hydrogel film dressings were developed for the localized and sustained delivery of atorvastatin to excisional wounds. Solvent-cast formulations containing different HPMC/Eudragit ratios were screened for swelling, mass loss, and tensile strength, and the opti...
