The invention discloses
hectorite composite antibacterial and
antioxidant hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that
hectorite is dispersed in deionized water to obtain dispersion liquid, zwitterionic monomers are added, the dispersion liquid is adsorbed on the surface of
hectorite through the interaction between ions, and a zwitterionic
monomer-hectorite compound is prepared; adding the zwitterionic
monomer-hectorite compound, a main
monomer, a cross-linking agent, an initiator and a catalyst into water, fully stirring to obtain a precursor solution, and cross-linking and curing to obtain double-cross-linked hectorite composite hydrogel; the preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a functional
polymer deionized water solution, adding inorganic
copper salt, carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion, adding EGCG, carrying out a reaction, carrying out
centrifugal separation on a final product, washing, and carrying out
freeze drying to prepare an EGCG-Cu
nano complex; and immersing the bi-crosslinked hectorite composite hydrogel into a deionized water solution of an EGCG-Cu
nano complex to fully swell the hydrogel layer, taking out the hydrogel layer, and carrying out
vacuum drying to obtain the EGCG-Cu nano hydrogel. The hydrogel material provided by the invention can realize the
wound dressing with antibacterial and
antioxidant properties at the same time.
