α-Terpineol loaded, electron beam crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol/tapioca starch hydrogel sheets; fabrication, characterization and evaluation of wound healing potential on a full thickness acid burn wound.

ABSTRACT: The multifaceted challenges in treating full-thickness acid burn wounds including impaired tissue regeneration, increased risk of infection, and the pursuit of functional and aesthetically pleasing outcomes, highlights the need for innovative therapeutic approaches for their treatment. The exceptional biochemical and mechanical properties of hydrogels, particularly their extracellular matrix-like nature and their potential to incorporate functional ingredients positions them as promising materials for wound dressings, offering a potential solution to the complexities of full-thickness burn wound management. The current study has integrated functional ingredients (starch and α-terpineol), known for their angiogenic, fibroblast-adhesive, and anti-inflammatory properties into an α-terpineol l
