Polymeric and Natural Composites

Abstract

Wound repair is a complicated and firmly synchronized physiological process, entailing the activation of various cell types throughout each succeeding step (homeostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling). Any impairment within the correct sequence of the healing events could prompt incessant injuries, with probable denouement on the patients’ quality of life, and consequential failures on wound care management. Contemporary wound healing treatments like gauzes and bandages primarily are pivoted on passively cushioning the wound and do not proffer properties that escalate the rate of wound healing. Even though these strategies are resilient at safeguarding any infection after application, they are futile at healing a heretofore infected wound or spurring tissue regeneration. The burgeoning of next-generation wound healing treatments aid in enhancing patient care pathways and clinical outcomes. Natural polymers play a significant role in wound care. They deliver a versatile and tunable platform to design the germane extracellular matrix competent to succor tissue regeneration, while contrasting the onset of adverse events. Our goal is to scrutinize the evolution of natural polymers in wound dressing from traditional to modern-day treatment methods. The chief characteristics and properties of a natural polymer, which is widely utilized as biomaterial, are presented. Properties of composite material with peculiar heed on their applications in the skin tissue repair field are discussed. Finally, the unmet needs and developmental perspectives of the new generations of environmentally friendly, naturally derived, smart wound dressings are addressed in light of future research.
