Photo-Crosslinked Keratin/Chitosan Membranes as Potential Wound Dressing Materials

In this study, we combined two kinds of natural polymers, chitosan and keratin, to develop a portable composite membrane via UV irradiation. UV-crosslinking without an additional chemical agent makes the fabrication more ideal by reducing reactants and avoiding residual toxic chemicals. This novel c...
