Plant Extract Loaded Biopolymers For Wound Healing

Plant Extract Loaded Biopolymers For Wound Healing focuses on the naturally available different plant extracts loaded with biopolymers for wound healing. The book reviews the different structural, mechanical, thermal, in-vitro, and in-vivo characterizations of such extracts and introduces biocomposites, thin film, scaffolds, and natural plants for wound healing. In addition, it discusses the antimicrobial and anti-cancerous properties of plants, together with the synthesis of plant extracts, phytochemicals, and other forms of analysis of plant extracts. The book covers the fabrication of plant extracts loaded with biopolymers and their structural/mechanical/thermal/in vitro characterization.

In later chapters, the following aspects are also discussed: the histopathology analysis of plant extracts loaded with biopolymers; biopolymers for local drug delivery and tissue/bone regeneration; drug release, drug kinetics and swelling studies; contact angle analysis of biopolymers; and FEM simulation of biopolymers.
