Abstract
The focus of this book is aimed towards the fabrication, characterization
of water soluble polymers such as hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), poly
(vinyl) alcohol (PVA) and collagen with the presence of silver
nanoparticles and their potential application as substrates for skin tissue
engineering.
Several types of scaffolds based on HEC polymer was utilized in this
study via two different fabrication techniques which is electrospinning
and freeze-drying method. Green nanoparticle preparation has been
performed using natural polymers like chitosan or spider silk. Based on
our finding, these scaffolds with optimal properties for wound healing
could be adopted for the design of next-generation tissue-engineered skin
grafts or wound dressing.
