A Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic Janus Membrane Used as Wound Dressings with Enhanced Antibacterial Properties
Fibers and Polymers(2022)
摘要
In this study, an asymmetric wettable composite wound dressing consists of hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) outer layer and a hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA) coated Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs)/PVDF layer (PVDF-Ag-PDA) was successfully prepared through electrospinning and PDA coating. The results show that the contact angle of the PVDF surface is 132.8°, while the PDA-coated surface is nearly 0°, indicating an asymmetric wettability. The highly hydrophilic PVDF-Ag-PDA layer can significantly reduce bacterial growth, while the PVDF layer with a small pore size and high hydrophobicity can prevent bacterial adherence. In addition, cytotoxic assays showed that PVDF/PVDF-Ag-PDA present a high cell viability percentage (above 80 %), which is attributed to that the thin layer of PDA can alleviate the cytotoxicity of Ag NPs. Therefore, the Janus wound dressing noted as PVDF/PVDF-Ag-PDA has the potential for practical applications with the advantages mentioned above.
