Alginate Hydrogels Coated with Chitosan for Wound Dressing

Alginate Hydrogels Coated with Chitosan for Wound Dressing

In this work, a coating of chitosan onto alginate hydrogels was realized using the water-soluble hydrochloride form of chitosan (CH-Cl), with the dual purpose of imparting antibacterial activity and delaying the release of hydrophilic molecules from the alginate matrix. Alginate hydrogels with diffe...
