Abstract
Disclosed herein is the production of biopolymers and egg white active ingredient-based nanofibrous materials for use in the treatment of second-degree burns. Specifically disclosed is the design, production, characterization, and in-vivo applications of a double-layer nanofibrous burn wound material with different functional properties are provided. Electrospinning method may be used in the production of the material.
Claims12
Second degree burn treatment material comprising:
- polyacrylic acid (PAA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and protein comprising egg white active ingredient protein,
- wherein the second degree burn material is produced by an electrospinning method, and
- wherein the second degree burn material is used in burn treatments.
A method of producing second-degree burn treatment material via electrospinning, the method comprising:
- preparing a solution with polyacrylic acid and solvent,
- intaking the solution into a syringe,
- taking the syringe to a pump that feeds into a system,
- creating a polymer solution droplet at a tip of a needle connected to the syringe with the pump,
- increasing the surface tension of the droplet thereby making the solution droplet longer and thinner by applying electrical potential,
- accumulating fibrous droplets on a collector plate,
- physically cross-linking of the accumulated fibers with heat,
- preparing an additional solution with polycaprolactone, protein,
- and additional solvent,
- intaking the additional solution into an additional syringe,
- taking the additional syringe to the pump that feeds it-into the system,
- creating another polymer solution droplet at the tip of the needle connected to the syringe with the pump,
- increasing the surface tension of the another polymer solution droplet thereby making the another polymer solution droplet longer and thinner by applying electrical potential,
- accumulating fibrous droplets on the collector plate, and
- joining the first layer and the second layer on the collector plate,
- wherein the protein comprises egg white active ingredient protein, and
- wherein the second-degree burn treatment material is used in burn treatments.
