Construction of asymmetric dual-layer polysaccharide-based porous structure on multiple sources for potential application in biomedicine

Biomedical materials can produce high efficiency and special behavior with an integrated internal structure. It is possible that changing the structure of biomedical materials could extend and promote the application of eco-friendly and multifunctional biomaterials. However, the instantaneous formation of complex structures between tannic acid (TA) and polysaccharides is disrupted, and the reconstruction of the new porous structure becomes a key issue. Here, we present an innovative one-step forming method for an asymmetric dual-layer porous structure of carboxymethyl chitosan (CC)/sodium alginate (SA)/TA, which can be utilized in various biomedical applications. Even after 6 months of storage, it still demonstrates a range of desirable properties including tailorable performance, efficient antibacterial activity , ultrarapid antioxidant activity , low differential blood clotting index and cytotoxicity. This suggests its potential for regulating and controlling wound bleeding, providing flexible possibilities for potential applications in biomedicine .
