title: The in situ synthesis of Ag/amino acid biopolymer hydrogels as mouldable wound dressings.
abstract: This manuscript introduces a one-pot fabrication procedure for the preparation of supramolecular hybrid hydrogels from low-cost commercially available natural products through a "green" strategy. In particular, the hybrid hydrogels, which are developed with Fmoc-Glu-OMe, silver nanoparticles and chitosan, exhibit outstanding antibacterial properties and can be regarded as excellent mouldable wound healing biomaterials.
