Abstract

Cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) hydrogel was developed for application to wound dressings. To determine the optimum conditions for wound dressing materials, PEO with different molecular weights and various PEO/poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) compositions were irradiated in order to obtain cross-linked hydrogels using an electron beam with various beam intensities. The contents of the PEGDA influenced the gel fraction, swelling ratio, mechanical properties, and water vapor transmission rate. To evaluate the healing effect of PEO/ PEGDA cross-linked hydrogel for wound dressing, wounds on the backs of mice were covered with PEO/PEGDA hydrogel films. Healing under the wet environment of the hydrogel dressing was faster than with a gauze control and a commercial reference. The results demonstrate the possibility of the facile production of mechanically robust and transparent wound dressing materials with improved wound healing characteristics.
