Chitosan/Diatom‐Biosilica Aerogel with Controlled Porous Structure for Rapid Hemostasis

Uncontrolled hemorrhage is the main reason of possible preventable death after accidental injury. It is necessary to develop a hemostatic agent with rapid hemostatic performance and good biocompatibility. In this study, a chitosan/diatom‐biosilica‐based aerogel is developed using dopamine as cross‐linker by simple alkaline precipitation and tert ‐butyl alcohol replacement. The chitosan/diatom‐biosilica aerogel exhibits favorable biocompatibility...
