ABSTRACT

In modern warfare, combat trauma can easily cause skin defects or loss of function, destroying the barrier function of the skin to the human body and affecting the stability of the internal environment of the body. Currently, there are various types of wound coverings available, but they have their own advantages, disadvantages and indications due to different performances. As an emerging product, biosynthetic polymer materials have huge application potential. This article provides a review on the research progress of biosynthetic polymer materials.
