▎ 摘  要

In this study, we developed biocompatible, fungus-derived carboxymethyl chitosan (FCMCS)-reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-polydopamine (PDA)-polyacrylamide (PAM) (FC-rGO-PDA) hydrogels with excellent antibacterial, hemostatic, and tissue adhesive properties for wound healing applications. FC-rGO-PDA hydrogels were prepared by the alkali-induced polymerization of DA followed by the incorporation of GO and its reduction during the polymerization AM to form a homogeneously dispersed PAM network structure in FCMCS solution. The for-mation of rGO was verified using UV-Vis spectra. The physicochemical properties of hydrogels were charac-terized by FTIR, and SEM, water contact angle measurements, and compressive studies. SEM and contact angle measurements showed that hydrogels were hydrophilic with interconnected pores and a fibrous topology. In addition, hydrogels adhered well to porcine skin with an adhesion strength of 32.6 +/- 1.3 kPa, . The hydrogels exhibited viscoelastic, good compressive (77.5 kPa), swelling, and biodegradation properties. An in vitro study using skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes cells showed the hydrogel had good biocompatibility. Testing against two model bacteria, viz. Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli revealed that the FC-rGO-PDA hydrogel has antibac-terial activity. Furthermore, the hydrogel exhibited hemostasis properties. Overall, the developed FC-rGO-PDA hydrogel has antibacterial and hemostasis properties, high water holding capacity, and excellent tissue adhe-sive properties, which make it a promising candidate for wound healing applications.
