Wound healing is a complex process often hindered by microbial infections, particularly in severe wounds like diabetic ulcers and burns. Collagen-based hydrogels offer potential solutions but lack mechanical support antibacterial properties. This study explores the incorporation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into Collagen-Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) crosslinked with polyurethane (PU) for enhanced wound healing. The hydrogels, labeled CPEG-Ag, revealed dense fibrillar structure resulting from...
