Wound Healing Biomaterials: Volume Two, Functional Biomaterials discusses the types of wounds associated with trauma, illness, or surgery that can sometimes be extremely complex and difficult to heal. Consequently, there is a prominent drive for scientists and clinicians to find methods to heal wounds opening up a new area of research in biomaterials and the ways they can be applied to the challenges associated with wound care. Much research is now concerned with new therapies, regeneration methods, and the use of biomaterials that can assist in wound healing and alter healing responses. This book provides readers with a thorough review of the functional biomaterials used for wound healing, with chapters discussing the fundamentals of wound healing biomaterials, films for wound healing applications, polymer-based dressing for wound healing applications, and functional dressings for wound care. Includes more systematic and comprehensive coverage on the topic of wound care Provides thorough coverage of all specific therapies and biomaterials for wound healingContains clear layout and organization that is carefully arranged with clear titles and comprehensive section headingsDetails specific sections on the fundamentals of wound healing biomaterials, films for wound healing applications, polymer-based dressing for wound healing applications, and more INDICE: 1 Introduction to biomaterials for wound healing 2 Tissue-biomaterial interaction 3 Biofilms in wounds and wound dressing 4 Multi-layer films for reducing bleeding and infection 5 Collagen for wound healing applications 6 Cyanoacrylate tissue glues for wound closure 7 Collagen in wound healing 8 Microparticulate polymers and hydrogels for wound healing 9 Sponge-like hydrogels for improving wound healing 10 Absorbent polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) materials 11 Biopolymers as wound healing materials 12 In situ formed bioactive hydrogels for delivery of stem cells and bioactives for wound 13 Polystyrene wound dressings 14 Silver doped hydrogels for wound dressings 15 Keratins for wound healing 16 Activated protein C for treating ulcers and burns 17 Inorganic materials for healing chronic wounds 18 Silver containing dressings 19 Antibacterial effects of titanium dioxide in wounds 20 Bioactive nanofibre dressings for wound healing 21 Nanofibrous smart bandages for wound care
