Description:
In the present work, a sustained-release film composed of silk fibroin (SF), curcumin (Cur), glutaraldehyde (GA), and glycerol (Gly) was prepared successfully for wound dressings. Features relevant to wound dressings of SF/Gly/GA/Cur film were assessed. Physical and chemical properties of the fabricated materials were also characterized. The results showed that the prepared SF/Gly/GA/Cur film demonstrated a good sustained-release performance, flexibility, and gas permeability. In addition, it was found that the prepared SF/Gly/GA/Cur film possessed the capability to effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and prevent bacterial penetration with a suitable water vapor transmission rate. Furthermore, the prepared composite film was non-cytotoxic, which makes it an ideal material for wound dressings.
