Abstract:Hydrogels have proven to be of great value because of their useful properties and functions. Temperature and pH-sensitive chitosan-collagen-based hydrogels have drawn research interest in the area of wound care. Their unique mechanism allows them to release antimicrobial agents in response to changes in the environment and aids in efficient healing of wounds. The current review aims to describe various composite hydrogels of chitosan and collagen, their temperature and pH sensitivity, the antimicrobial effect … Show more
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.
