Preparation and Characterization of Clay-Based Hybrid Membranes for Antibacterial Biodegradable Polymer Wound DressingsBy Snehal Masurkar, S. K. Mohite, Sheeth Toppo
Abstract: Recent developments in the field of polymer chemistry have resulted in many new forms of Hybrid polymer. This has further revolutionized the application of polymer chemistry in numerous fields. In this research, we manufactured clay-based hybrid membrane by adding clay to the biodegradable matrix of chitosan polymer. It is widely known that microbial and pathogenic organisms are responsible for wound hampering infections such as impetigo. They can spread in bodily …

Fabrication, Mechanical Characterization, and Biodegradation Analysis of Polylactic-Acid-Based Composite for Medical SuturesBy Wasim A. Bagwan, U. A. Deokate, Vimalkumar A. Patel, Sheeth Toppo, Mukund Anant Kulkarni
Abstract: Wound closure is surgical aids that relieve heavily on sutures, which help maintain proper tissue alignment and support healing. The effectiveness depends on factors such as the type of wound, required mechanical strength, risk of infection, and characteristics like absorbability and thickness of the martial. The efficacy of sutures is determined by their material properties and structural characteristics, which affect their mechanical properties. The primary objective of this study was …
