This study focuses on the design and fabrication of antibacterial nanocomposite hydrogels for wound dressing applications, with particular emphasis on HCu NPs incorporated HPMC NHFs. The antibacterial activity of the NHFs against S. aureus and E. coli was demonstrated, suggesting their effectiveness for antibacterial applications.
Currently, special emphasis is being given to the design and fabrication of antibacterial nanocomposite hydrogels for wound dressing applications. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) reinforced with HPMC capped copper nanoparticles (HCu NPs) based nanocomposite hydrogel films (NHFs). Spherical nanostructures of HCu NPs (similar to 40 nm) were achieved by facile precipitation technique using ascorbic acid as a nucleating agent and subsequently made their NHFs via solution casting method. Spectral, thermal and structural characteristics of the developed materials were carried out. Antibacterial activity of the resultant NHFs showed the MIC and MBC values of 350 and 1400 mu g/mL for S. aureus, and 500 and 2000 mu g/mL for E. coli, respectively. These results conveyed that the HCu NPs incorporated HPMC NHFs can be used effectively in antibacterial applications.
