Emerging advancements in xerogel polymeric bionanoarchitectures and applications

In situ copper-ion catalyzed synthesis of copper containing poly(isocyanurate-urea) xerogels with antibacterial activity and biocompatibility for biomedical applications

“…Studies have reported that Xerogels are bio polymeric and zero chemical materials which can be used in tissue engineering application due to their well-known zero cytotoxicity behavior. 70,71 We have explored these properties to introduce synthetic polymer copper incorporated-PIU Xerogels especially for tissue engineering applications. Our polymeric Xerogels loaded with copper ions have shown excellent antibacterial activity as well as biocompatibility.…”

“…6,13 Studies have reported that silica @collagen xerogels display mechanical strength in segment similar to the bone, and their bio polymeric surface functionalization has favored drug inclusion and release properties. 14 While SiO 2 xerogels have an important good drug release behavior in vitro which shows their potential applications in novel drug carriers for bone tissue engineering, 15 Cheirmadurai et al have reported synthetic polymers like PCL, PVA and PEG for wound dressing application. 16 Also, the mechanical properties of the structures can be improved by introducing polymeric moieties as conformal coatings or interpenetrating networks in xerogel systems.…”
