Status and future scope of hydrogels in wound healing: Synthesis, materials and evaluation

The hydrogel wound dressing is an ideal wound treatment because of its excellent biocompatibility, high moisture resistance and the ability to activate immune cells to speed wound healing. However, the biomedical applications of hydrogels are limited currently, due to their poor mechanical properties and insufficient adhesion. In order to expand the scope of its application, people have explored new methods of chemical and physical...
