Abstract:

In order to deal with bacteria breeding and fluid formation on wound site, polyurethane (PU) with excellent mechanical properties, polyacrylonitrile with high hydrophilicity and sodium polyacrylate with superabsorbent water were used as the substrate, and polyhexamethyl guanidine hydrochloride (PHGC) was used as the antibacterial agent to create antibacterial wound dressings. The nanofiber-based bilayer dressing material composed of hydrophilic outer layer and hydrophobic inner layer with different fiber sizes was prepared by electrospinning. The influence of hydrophobic layer thickness on the unidirectional water-transport effect of bilayer dressing was investigated, and the relationship between the structure and properties of the dressing were analyzed. The results show that the prepared bilayer dressing material can transfer water unidirectionally from inside to outside in 3.9 s, and the water absorption of the dressing is as high as 1 230%. The air permeability is 6.7 mm/s, the moisture permeability is 1 350 g/(m2·d), the breaking strength is 6.5 MPa and the elongation at break is 45%. The addition of 0.06% PHGC to PU inner layer makes the antibacterial rate of dressing against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus reach more than 95%. The prepared bilayer dressings show no cytotoxicity and low cell adhesion.

Key words: wound dressing, electrospinning, unidirectional water-transport, antibacterial property, nanofiber
