Abstract

The optically transparent biocompatible, biodegradable, wound-healing materials were obtained based on chitosan and poly(lactide–titanium oxide). The optical transmittance of these films was more than 70% in the visible light region. The decreasing of the films transmittance by ~ 5–10% was observed under its UV irradiation as a result of the one-electron transition Ti4+ + e− ⇄ Ti3+. The tensile strength of the samples was up to 117 MPa. The investigation of the materials biocompatibility on experimental animals demonstrated the positive blood parameters and the absence of the inflammation process in the animals’ organisms, allergic reactions and stress after implantation of film and non-toxicity of the composite. The materials can be bioutilized and are biodegradable. The fibroblast cells (hTERT BY-5ta) adhesion and proliferation on the films surface were demonstrated in vitro. The films exhibited the UV-induced antibacterial properties.
