TLDR Hydrophilic/hydrophobic composites improve wound dressings by stopping bleeding, reducing bacteria, and aiding healing.
This paper discusses the development of multifunctional wound dressings with hydrophobic properties, focusing on hydrophilic/hydrophobic composites. It details the preparation methods and healing mechanisms of these dressings, highlighting their ability to promote hemostasis on hydrophobic surfaces, enhance wound adhesion, reduce bacterial adherence, and facilitate exudate removal. The paper also reviews recent advances and suggests future research directions for the application of these composites in antibacterial hemostatic dressings.
