Engineering of cerium oxide loaded chitosan/polycaprolactone hydrogels for wound healing management in model of cardiovascular surgery

This study was designed to establish the composition of wound bandages based on Cerium nanoparticle (CeNPs)-loaded chitosan (CS)/polycaprolactone (PCL). The CeNPs hydrogel (Ce-CS/PCL) was fabricated by the Cerium oxide solutions within the CS/PCL matrix. The influences of different experimental limitations on CS/PCL hydrogel formations were examined. The hydrogel particle sizes were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy and determined to...
