Abstract: Non-woven cellulose material was functionalized using two techniques, i.e. the coating with AgCl via sol-gel and oxygen plasma. The treatment effects were studied regarding the wound fluid adsorption potential using physiological saline, synthetic exudate and synthetic blood. Plasma treatment was most efficient since a significant improvement by absorbency rate and capacity was evident, less pronounced in case of synthetic blood. The combination of both treatments showed a similar trend, while the effects were less prominent, but still sufficient by managing fluid-associated as well as infected wounds.Keywords: non-woven cellulose fabric, sol-gel, oxygen plasma, absorption, synthetic wound fluidsPublished in DKUM: 31.08.2017; Views: 879; Downloads: 333 Full text (86,21 KB)This document has many files!
