Abstract

Film Forming Hydrogel is a dosage form that changes shape to film by solvent evaporation after being applied to the wound area. This study aims to present a study to develop film-forming hydrogels with a brief description of the membrane properties formulated from biopolymers for wound application. Over the last ten years, much effort has been conducted to develop new artificial polymeric membranes that meet the demanding requirements for topical applications such as skin wound care. Therefore, this study represents the ideal polymer specifications for wound dressing membranes, such as cross-linked hydrogels compatible with wound dressings. The results of the analysis showed that single-component hydrogels have low mechanical strength. Therefore, recent trends offer composite or hybrid hydrogel membranes to achieve a typical wound with various requirements to meet the characteristic aspects of film-forming hydrogels.
