Abstract
- Hydrogel films composed of alginate and Aloe vera gel were developed for wound healing applications.
- Films with different formulations can be prepared for the different phases of the wound healing process.
- Aloe vera gel significantly improves the water absorption and the in vitro degradation properties of alginate hydrogel films.
- The properties of the hydrogel films can be tailored by changing the Aloe vera content.
