Temperature-sensitive hydrogels were synthesized from gelatin-pluronic F127 with Calophyllum inophyllum oil extract incorporated as the the active ingredient by ultrasonic waves to increase the healing effect of wound treatments. The temperaturesensitive nature of the hydrogels were determined using the inversion tube method along with rheological property measurements. The sol-gel state of the hydrogels were found to change with temperature, at low-temperatures hydrogel gelatin - pluronic F127 is found to be in a liquid state, and when the temperature raised due to body temperature the hydrogel became a gel film. In addition, the hydrogel containing Calophyllum inophyllum oil has the ability to heal burns in the second degree after 10days of treatment. These results showed the potential application of the biomaterial in tissue regeneration.
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.
