“…The hydration could also have been achieved through bio-occlusive foils, but these devices have to be tailored to the wound geometry, because they cause irritations when covering healthy skin [49]. Furthermore, they may delay wound healing [49], have no absorption capability and may therefore accumulate exudates underneath, that would increase the risk of bacterial growth and reduce epithelialization [9].…”

“…This is probably due to the effect of the hydrogel wound coverage, preserving a humid milieu throughout the treatment. It is generally accepted that maintaining a wet wound environment accelerates epithelialization [8,9]. It may also be a result of an interaction between the fibrinogen and inflammatory cells in the wound.…”

“…Different types of newly developed resorbable wound dressings have -to some extent -overcome these disadvantages. Ideally they give structural support for cell ingrowth, are fully biocompatible (non-toxic and non-immunogenic), resorbable and undergo biodegradation at the rate of new tissue formation [6][7][8][9][10].…”

(2016) AbstractIntroduction: A synthetic polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG), was conjugated to fibrinogen as a threedimensional and biodegradable skin wound dressing matrix. This PEG-fibrinogen (PEG-fib) was tested in vivo in a skin wound time course study for its biocompatibility and biodegradation, after being delivered into the wound by injection and polymerized in situ by photo-activation.

“…Because of its physical and chemical properties, the KGM have been widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, and chemical engineering industries [6]. Recently, the application of KGM is mainly focused on film preparation [7,8]. However, KGM is difficult to be used as a feed additive in aquafeeds industry due to its high molecular weight (500-2000 kDa) and viscosity.…”

An environmentally-friendly wood adhesive was developed by blending konjac glucomannan (KGM), chitosan (CH), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) together. The viscosity of the KGM-CH-PVA (KCP) blend adhesive was determined, and the morphology of the film was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The KCP blend adhesive was applied to plywood during the manufacturing process, and the effects of the KGM, CH, and PVA contents on the bond strength was investigated. Results showed that KGM greatly increased the viscosity of the KCP blend adhesive, whereas the addition of PVA decreased the viscosity in the test range. The SEM observations showed that the KCP blend adhesive was homogeneous. The bond strength of the plywood that was treated with KCP blend adhesive increased with increasing KGM and CH concentrations, and desirable performance could be obtained with a total solids content of 4.6%. The KCP blend adhesive with 2.0% KGM, 2.0% CH, and 0.6% PVA exhibited a comparable bond strength with phenol formaldehyde. Findings suggest that the KCP blend adhesive can be used as a wood adhesive with all raw materials, having the advantage of being environmentally friendly.
