Development and characterization of polymer films for their application in regeneration of epithelial tissue

Abstract

Polymeric films were prepared by casting and drying of aqueous solutions with different content of Mimosa tenuiflora extract and carboxymethyl chitosan and the physical, chemical, mechanical, in vitro, in vivo and antibacterial properties of films were investigated.The results indicate that the addition of active ingrendient of Mimosa tenuiflora tree cortex in the polymer matrix helps to improve the proliferation of fibroblast and accelerates the wound healing process thus providing a biomaterial for epithelial tissue regeneration.
