Preparation of Novel Antibacterial Castor Oil Based Polyurethane Membranes for Wound Dressing application

In this study, preparation of novel antibacterial and cytocompatible polyurethane membranes for occlusive dressing, which can provide moist and sterile environment over mild exudative wounds is considered. An epoxy-terminated polyurethane (EPU) prepolymer based on castor oil and glycidyltriethylammonium chloride (GTEAC) as a reactive bactericidal agent were synthesized. Polyurethane membranes were prepared through cocuring of EPU and different content of GTEAC with 1,4-butane diamine. The physical and mechanical properties, as well as cytocompatibility and antibacterial performance of prepared membranes were studied.  Read – http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jbm.a.34672/abstract
