Abstract

Active dressings which are functionalised by using payload-filled nanocapsules to fabric materials are an area of increasing interest for the treatment of wounds which are particularly prone to infections, such as burns. In the work reported here, integrated engineering solutions that allow for the stable immobilisation of the nanocapsules on non-woven fabrics were investigated. Nanocapsules GB-PLLA 100 containing the antimicrobial agent octenidine (PLLA-NPs) can be controllably lysed by toxins released by pathogenic bacteria thus automatically releasing the antimicrobial material in response to the presence of the toxins and so counteracting the infection. The process involves coating nanocapsules on non-woven polymer surfaces by using an inkjet printing process. In order to improve the adhesion and retention of the nanocapsules on the fabric, surface pretreatment of the non-woven fabric using plasma treatment can be used to increase their surface energy.
