| Popis: | Sodium alginate is a natural polymer used for many biomedical applications. The excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility of sodium alginate have provided ample space for future development in wound healing applications. In this study, bio-composite film was prepared by solvent casting technique by blending sodium alginate (SA) solution and titanium dioxide (TiO2) followed by crosslinking with calcium chloride. The bio-composite film was characterized with different characterization technique such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). AFM analysis provides information about surface roughness. The microstructure of bio-composite film was determined by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The wettability of surface material is measure by contact angle. The result demonstrate that the bio-composite film shows high value of surface roughness and contact angle to enhanced blood clotting for wound healing applications |
