Abstract

In this study, a highly porous heparin-polyvinylalcohol@gold nanocomposite (H-PVA@Au) bandage was fabricated by incorporating Au into H-PVA hydrogel for burn injury. The effects of the H-PVA hydrogel and Au nanoparticle composition on the functional group and surface properties of the as-prepared bandages were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The morphology of the H-PVA hydrogel and H-PVA@Au were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). A study of the material properties of H-PVA hydrogel has shown that the presence of Au nanoparticles improves its toughness. Prepared H-PVA@Au nanoporous dressing has indicated good antimicrobial activity against types of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and excellent biocompatibility with human dermal fibroblast cells (HFFF2) suitable for biological applications. Additionally, in vivo experiments using Kunming mice showed it as-prepared H-PVA@Au nanocomposite dressings improved wound healing and triggered skin cell development alongside collagen growth. Synergistic effects of the H-PVA@Au nanocomposite hydrogel dressing material through in vivo experiments, such as its excellent hydrophilic design, strong bactericidal activity, biocompatibility and wound healing ability, make it a promising candidate for the treatment of burn injuries.
