Characteristics of waterborne polyurethane/poly(N‐vinylpyrrolidone) composite films for wound‐healing dressings

Abstract: For ideal wound-healing dressings, a series of waterborne polyurethane (WBPU)/poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) composite films (transparent film dressings) were prepared by in situ polymerization in an aqueous medium. Stable WBPU/PVP composites, which had a high remaining weight greater than 98.4%, were obtained. The maximum content of PVP for stable WBPU/PVP dispersions was found to be about 15 wt %. The water absorption (%) and equilibrium water content (%) of the WBPU/ PVP composite films remarkably increased… Show more

“…On the other hand, it could be due to the existence in intermolecular interactions between Ch and PEGF molecules [34]. The results, ranging from 553±53 to 733±55 g m −2 day −1 , are comparable with the commercially available wound dressings in market such as Tegaderm and Op Site with 491±41 and 792±32 g m −2 day −1 , respectively [4,35]. Considering accepted optimal WVTR value, these photocured films are promising candidates for dressing the wounds with low exudate.…”

“…To prevent scab formation due to excessive dehydration and desiccation of wounds, a dressing with a sufficient water vapor transmission rate is required . Generally, occlusive dressings need not to have high absorptive capacity, but they should transmit moisture vapor with a rate less than 300 g m −2 day −1 to maintain moisture in low exudative wounds .…”

“…46 In hydrated state, when membranes are in contact with uid, much higher values may be recorded for the prepared membranes. This phenomenon can be attributed to either hydrophobic nature of AT segments, or barrier effect of p-p stacked AT moieties against water molecules.…”
