Abstract
Composite membranes with excellent antibacterial properties, hydrophilic/hydrophobic differentiation, and selective permeability are preferred materials for wound dressings. In this work, antibacterial bromoacetyl and quaternary ammonium groups were chemically introduced into a regenerated cellulose nanofiber membrane. This hydrophilic membrane was then compounded with a polylactic acid (PLA) liquid film through a non-solvent-induced phase separation process to prepare a composite membrane. FTIR, XPS, and EDS results confirmed the successful chemical modification and presence of antibacterial groups. SEM analysis revealed a stable composite with an asymmetric structure. Modification time, particularly the bromoacetylation duration, had a certain impact on the structure and properties of the composite membrane. The optimized composite membrane exhibited excellent gas permeability (air and water vapor) and differentiated hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties. Membrane modified via bromoacetylation for over 3 h demonstrated >95 % antibacterial efficiency against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, indicating broad-spectrum efficacy. The biomass-derived polymer matrix, scalable production process, and multifunctionality highlight its potential for healthcare applications, particularly in wound dressings.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
