title: [Preparation of biodegradable porous films for use as wound coverings].
abstract: We studied the preparation of polymeric films formed from solutions of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and poly-epsilon-caprolactone in chloroform and methylene chloride. A morphological study of film chips (electron microscopy) showed that solvent evaporation results in the formation of a heterogeneous structure with interpenetrating pores (1-20 microm). We proposed a new method for introducing the proteolytic enzyme and the aminopolysaccharide chitosan into the composition of polyester films. Composite films possessed necrolytic activity and were characterized by increased hydrophilicity. Properties of enzyme-containing films from a mixture of polymers (proteolytic activity, porous structure, and increased hydrophilicity) account for their use in the preparation of biodegradable wound coverings.
