Vegetable Oil‐Based Materials for Drug Delivery Systems and Wound Dressings

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
Renewable resources like vegetable oils are increasingly explored for biomaterial production in biomedical applications. Their monoglycerides and triglycerides inherently possess functions or can be chemically modified to introduce functional groups suitable for polymerization, yielding biomaterials with desirable properties such as flexibility ...

Unravelling Rheology and Structural Properties of Polysaccharides from Porphyridium Purpureum After Alkali Pre‐Treatment

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
Porphyridium purpureum polysaccharides are established hydrocolloids among several microalgal biomolecules, however they only exhibit higher viscosity without gelling capacity. Therefore, this study chose to employ alkali pretreatment to Porphyridium purpureum to investigate whether controlled chemical modification could alter the molecular structure ...

Preliminary observations on clotting under three hydrocolloid dressings [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1989
Four patients with five wounds were randomly assigned to treatment with three occlusive dressings: DuoDERM®, Restore® and Comfeel Ulcus®; the dressings were left intact for 24-48 h. When the dressings were removed, it was found that wounds that had been covered with Restore and Comfeel contained coagulated sanguinous material.
