Mechanical and antibacterial properties of tannic acid-encapsulated carboxymethyl chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels

The objective of this study was to develop an effective, potential wound dressing, which was constructed with a composite hydrogel of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and tannic acid (TA) by cryogenic treatment and freeze-drying method. The as-prepared TA-crosslinked PVA/CMC h...
