Poster summary

Although health care has rapidly advanced in recent decades, the development of appropriate biomaterials for wound healing application remains a challenging task. The hydrophobic nature of PVDF membrane causes fouling, decreasing the membrane performance and shortening the membrane lifetime. Cellulose is one of the most common natural polymers in the world. This work mainly reviews the processing, properties and applications of the β phase PVDF de blend membranes with PVDF, which possessed enhanced antifouling properties. CA a polymer was chosen as the host polymer matrix due to its flexibility, high thermal stability, mechanical stability and versatile properties. Aqueous PVDF a polymer was incorporated as additive to modulate the conductivity of the host semi crystalline polymer.Additionally, computer modelling, such as molecular docking tools, can lead to pharmacological study and improve assortment and biological treatments. The CA:PVDF molecular docking study was performed with wound related proteins such as 1VIT, 1TBQ
