SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ELECTROSPUN GELATIN/DENDRIMER SCAFFOLD ENCAPSULATED WITH A SILVER AS A POTENTIAL ANTIMICROBIAL WOUND DRESSING
A novel nanofiber scaffold was fabricated and characterized as a potential antimicrobial wound dressing. Half generation polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer G3.5 was covalently conjugated to gelatin. Gelatin alone or with gelatin-dendrimer conjugates was electrospun into nanofiber scaffolds. Gelatin is...
