Asymmetric porous hydrogel encapsulating vulcanized molecular brushes with anti-bacterial adhesion, anti-infection, and pro-healing properties towards infected wound treatment

Abstract

Inspired by the hierarchical structure of the skin, asymmetric porous hydrogel encapsulating vulcanized molecular brushes (VMB@APH) as multifunctional wound dressing has been integrally constructed. The as-obtained VMB@APH effectively combines the anti-bacterial adhesion, anti-infection, and pro-healing properties, which is of great significance for accelerating the recovery of infected wounds.
