Projectomschrijving
The aim of the project is the development of a breakthrough Electrospun Hydrogel Wound dressing with extended antibacterial effect in order to create ideal wound healing conditions, limit infections and reduce the number dressing changes. From a valorisation point of view we will investigate if the proprietary technology can be extended beyond wound care to serve addition markets such as dermatology and cosmetic markets.
