New approaches in green chemistry: vaniline based imin synthesis and wound dressing production by nanotechnolodgy

Abstract

Wound dressings provide quick healing of wounds. Commercially wound dressings have several different types such as transparent film covers, hydrocolloid covers, polymer foam covers, hydrogels, hydrophilic covers, alginate covers, antibacterial covers, honey covers and biological dressings equivalent to skin structure. In order to produce such nanotechnological membranes, electrospinning method have been utilized and polycaprolactone (PCL) is used as a composite matrix. The synthetic polymer PCL, can find applications in biological and medical fields due to their biocompatible and biodegradable properties unlike other polyesters Vanillin is a fragrant substance known as 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and naturally found as glycosylated forms of the fruit of vanilla. These study is valuable not only for the synthesized novel imine molecule but also its nanocomposite forms for biomedical applications.
