Polydimethylsiloxane incorporated with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets for wound dressing application: Preparation and characterization.
Colloids and Surfaces. B, Biointerfaces 2018 June 2
Toward fabricating a novel multifunctional wound dressing material, we incorporated a series of contents of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix to prepare the rGO-PDMS composite membrane and be used for wound dressing. The pore structure, dispersion of rGO, physical properties, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity were studied. Finally, the effect of the rGO-PDMS composite membrane on wound healing was investigated on a murine full-thickness skin wound model. The rGO-PDMS composite membrane exhibited bionic performance (ordered pore structure and suitable WVTR), improved mechanical properties, good compatibility and effective antibacterial activity. In vivo experiment indicated that the rGO-PDMS composite membrane could accelerate wound healing via enhancement of the re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation. These findings suggest that rGO doping PDMS uniquely resulted in a multifunctional material for potential use in wound dressing.
