 This study sought to create a new type of hydrogel material that could be used as a wound dressing. To do so, they combined two different components, tannic acid and fungal-derived carboxymethyl chitosan into a polyacrylamide network. They then added free radical polymerization to create a nanoporous structure. The result was a hydrogel with increased water absorption capacity, antioxidant properties, and antibacterial capabilities. Additionally, it had good adhesive properties and was found to be biocompatible with skin fibroblast cells.
