AI Technical Summary
Existing antibacterial hydrogels have problems such as insufficient mechanical properties, poor self-healing ability, high cytotoxicity, and the possibility of secondary damage to damaged tissues when treating bacterial wound infections. In addition, traditional treatments rely on antibiotics, which leads to the risk of drug resistance.
A bi-responsive antibacterial hydrogel with NIR/pH dual-response properties was prepared by combining hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles with chitosan and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and crosslinking agent 3-formylphenylboronic acid. The synergistic effect of near-infrared photothermal therapy and chemodynamic therapy enhanced its antioxidant activity and antibacterial ability.
The prepared hydrogel has good mechanical properties, self-healing properties and biocompatibility. It can quickly and effectively kill bacteria at low temperatures and reduce tissue damage, making it suitable for wound dressings in biomedical engineering.
