The advent of biobased materials exhibiting remarkable effectiveness and performance has ushered in a paradigm shift in the field of biomedical science. Polymers are often used in the medical sector, particularly in the regeneration of bones, tissues, and wounds. Fast wound healing and self-healing polymers created from sustainable surroundings are attractive alternatives to create demand for new pathways in polymer research. This study investigates the efficacy of a biowaste-derived polymer, which was extracted and supplemented with titanium-doped ZnO nanoparticles along with medication in the form of an extract to evaluate its effectiveness in promoting wound healing. The prepared materials were further characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), tensile, and its color parameters. In vitro studies on wound healing were also conducted. The results clearly showed that the produced substance possesses properties that are noteworthy for wound healing.
具有显著功效和性能的生物基材料的出现,引发了生物医学科学领域的范式转变。聚合物常用于医疗领域,尤其是在骨骼、组织和伤口的再生方面。由可持续环境中产生的快速伤口愈合和自愈合聚合物,是创造聚合物研究新途径需求的有吸引力的替代品。本研究调查了一种生物废弃物衍生聚合物的功效,该聚合物经过提取,并添加了钛掺杂的氧化锌纳米颗粒以及提取物形式的药物,以评估其促进伤口愈合的有效性。使用X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外可见光谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM)、光学显微镜、原子力显微镜(AFM)、拉伸试验及其颜色参数对制备的材料进行了进一步表征。还进行了伤口愈合的体外研究。结果清楚地表明,所产生的物质具有值得注意的伤口愈合特性。
