Development of Natural Biopolymeric Hydrogel Bandages with NanoZnO/ Nanosuspensions of Herb Hemigraphis Ulternata for Wound Dressing

This project proposes to develop novel natural biopolymeric composite hydrogel bandages based alginate, chitin and chitosan with antibacterial Herb Hemigraphis Ulternata/ZnO nanoparticles. This three-year project will involve preparation and characterization of nanostructured hydrogel bandages followed by in-vitro protein adsorption, antibacterial, blood clotting, cell attachment and proliferation.

 Following the invitrostudies, in-vivo studies are proposed to examine wound skin tissue regeneration for medical applications.
