Student Khabat Jamel has created innovative hydrogels, as part of her research project, combining the natural healing properties of thyme and ginger with the potent antimicrobial action of silver ...

A Master’s student from the University of Wolverhampton has developed a ground-breaking biodegradable wound dressing which ...

They are usually soft and weak, but can be made hard and tough. Hydrogels are gels that have water as their main constituent. We report a method for a gradient hydrophobic coating of tough double ...

This suggests that PPN can soak up wound exudates and resist degradation by infected wound fluids, enabling the hydrogel to be ultralow-leachable and leave minimal residue at wound sites after ...
