Abstract:
:The aim of this work was to develop new method for the production of chitosan/agarose (CHN/A) film that could serve as a potential artificial skin substitute for regenerative medicine applications. Within this new production method, the concentrations of biomaterial components (chitosan in CH3COOH and agarose in NaOH) were optimized to provide neutralization of the resultant mixture up to pH approx. 6.0 without uncontrolled precipitation (gelation) of chitosan constituent. Produced thin film was subjected to comprehensive evaluation of its biomedical potential by determination of mechanical, physicochemical, and biological properties. It was demonstrated that the developed CHN/A film reveals slightly acidic pH of 5.98 known to support skin regeneration, high exudate absorption capacity, and is prone to biodegradation in simulated enzymatic wound environment. Performed tensile test proved high elastic deformations of the film (Young's modulus = 0.02 MPa, elongation at break = 23%) in a wet state, which would allow suitable stretching after application at the wound site. Moreover, novel biomaterial is non-toxic and supports fibroblast growth on its surface. Based on the obtained results it may be concluded that the produced CHN/A film possesses all necessary features of the artificial skin substitute.
