Ultratough, Self-Healing, and Tissue-Adhesive Hydrogel for Wound Dressing

Abstract

A hydrogel for potential applications in wound dressing should possess several peculiar properties, such as efficient self-healing ability and mechanical toughness, so as to repair muscle and skin damage. Additionally, excellent cell affinity and tissue adhesiveness are also necessary for the hydrogel to integrate with the wound tissue in practical applications. Herein, an ultratough and self-healing hydrogel with superior cell affinity and tissue adhesiveness is prepared. The self-healing ability of the hydrogel is obtained through hydrogen bonds and dynamic Schiff cross-linking between dopamine-grafted oxidized sodium alginate (OSA-DA) and polyacrylamide (PAM) chains. The covalent cross-linking is responsible for its stable mechanical structure. The combination of physical and chemical cross-linking contributes to a novel hydrogel with efficient self-healing ability (80% mechanical recovery in 6 h), high tensile strength (0.109 MPa), and ultrastretchability (2550%), which are highly desirable properties and are superior to previously reported tough and self-healing hydrogels for wound dressing applications. More remarkably, due to plenty of catechol groups on the OSA-DA chains, the hydrogel has unique cell affinity and tissue adhesiveness. Moreover, we demonstrate the practical utility of our fabricated hydrogel via both in vivo and in vitro experiments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
