Abstract
- Abstract: The objective of this work was to prepare chitosan/silk fibroin (CS/SF) blending membranes crosslinked with alginate dialdehyde (ADA) as wound dressings and to evaluate the physical properties and biocompatibility of the membranes. The morphology of membrane was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which showed that the well consistency of these two compositions. Further, the stability, water absorption and water vapor permeability of the ADA fixed CS/SF membranes could meet the needs of wound dressing. Furthermore, the biocompatibility of ADA fixed membranes was investigated by MTT assays and SEM in vitro, and the membranes were found to promote the cell attachment and proliferation. These results suggest that ADA fixed CS/SF blending membranes with a suitable ratio could be a promising candidate for wound healing applications. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
