Abstract
In this review, we provide a report on recent studies in the field of research on the blends of hyaluronic acid with other natural polymers, namely collagen and chitosan. Hyaluronic acid has attracted significant interest in biomedical and cosmetic applications due to its interesting properties. In recent years, blends of hyaluronic acid with other polymers have been studied for new materials development. New materials may show improved properties that are important in the biomedical applications and in cosmetic preparations. In this review paper, the structure, preparation, and properties of hyaluronic acid blends with collagen and chitosan have been discussed and examples of new materials based on such blends have been presented. A comparison of the currently available information in the field has been shown. Future aspects in the field of hyaluronic acid blends and their applications in the biomedical and cosmetic industry have also been mentioned.
Highlights
Hyaluronic acid (HA) belongs to the glycosaminoglycan compounds, which are members of the polysaccharides family
Multifunctionalized hydrogel scaffolds based on hyaluronic acid–tyrosine and human-like ether led to the formation of materials that can be considered as soft-tissue fillers
The results showed that mechanical properties and thermal stability of chitosan/collagen blends were improved
Summary
Hyaluronic acid (HA) belongs to the glycosaminoglycan compounds, which are members of the polysaccharides family. Hyaluronic acid can trap water within its structure and can form gels. Chemical synthesized by a class of integral membrane proteins known as HA synthases These methods proteins because ofHA the by presence of several functional groups.acid. The properties of materials, as well as the properties of hydrogels, specific and non-specific interactions It is helpful for the growth of epithelial tissue cells, can be modified by HA concentration and by crosslinking [3,4,5,6,7].depends. HA is ingredient in cosmetic creams it should be the emphasized hyaluronic acid be blended polymers and and gels for treatmentthat of different types of can diseases [9,10,11,12]. The film-forming properties of HA can be used for hair treatment abiopolymers collagen stimulator [16]
