“…First, the donor site wound is surgically created, more standardized and is considered very homogenous wound healing model b u r n s x x x ( 2 0 1 5 ) x x x -x x x [33]. Second reason was that several kinds of dressings are being used in donor site care, but which is superior has not been determined [34]. Moreover, pain control is a well approved feature in using HAM as a dressing.…”

“…Moreover, immobilization of AgNPs promotes reusability of the antimicrobial substrates and thus elevates cost effectiveness . Consequently, surface immobilized AgNPs have recently been extensively used in health and cosmetic products, food packaging containers and textiles as well as in many medical applications such as surgical devices, dental composites, wound and burn dressings, etc. , …”

Paper and paper products are widely used without any antimicrobial efficacy in our everyday lives and thus can act as potential transporters of many diseases. Herein, we introduce antimicrobial activity to cellulose paper by presenting a tailored mussel-inspired strategy for the sustainable immobilization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which are well-known for the effectiveness in preventing annexation and proliferation of microbes on materials surfaces. First, we functionalized the cellulose paper with succinic acid that eventually reacted with dopamine to give dopamine-modified paper. The dopamine molecules possess excellent adhesion and strong coordination with metal substrates through catechol groups offering a potentially robust interface between AgNPs and the organic structure of the paper. Next, AgNPs were deposited onto the paper by simply immersing dopamine-modified paper in a silver salt solution to accomplish the antimicrobial properties. Field emission scanning electron microscopic study of the synthesized antimicrobial papers confirmed that the loading of AgNPs was time-dependent, and the average size of the nanoparticles was in the range of 50–60 nm after 8 h of deposition time. The paper decorated with AgNPs showed excellent antimicrobial activity against highly virulent and multiple antibiotic resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria as well as against some extremely virulent fungal phytopathogens.

In the present study, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/Carrageenan(Car) composite films have been prepared by ionic cross-linking of the two polymers with Borax (Bx) and K + ions, respectively, in aqueous medium at room temperature. The films were characterized by FTIR, SEM, TGA, and AFM analysis. The equilibrium percent swelling (EPS) of PVA/Carr films, so produced, exhibited negative dependence on the amount of cross-linkers. A detailed investigation of their water absorption and moisture permeation behavior has been carried out. The films showed non-thrombogenic and noncytotoxic behaviors. Finally, drug minocycline-loaded films showed excellent antimicrobial behavior.
