Abstract

This article describes the creation of biodegradable wound dressings using silk fiber industrial waste and the testing of their physical and antibacterial properties. The silk fibroin nonwoven material was treated with chitosan and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. Researchers measured moisture absorption, water vapor permeability, mechanical strength, and antimicrobial activity. The results show that these silk-based materials help maintain proper moisture in wounds and lower the risk of infection.
