Design, Optimization and Evaluation of Copper Nanoparticle-loaded Hydrogel for Drug Delivery and Wound Healing Applications

Abstract

This study presents the design, optimization, and evaluation of a novel copper nanoparticle-loaded hydrogel aimed at enhancing drug delivery and wound healing applications.  Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are recognized for their potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenic properties, making them ideal candidates for accelerating wound healing processes and improving drug delivery efficiency.  The hydrogel matrix, composed of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers, acts as a controlled release system, ensuring sustained delivery of copper nanoparticles and therapeutic agents to the wound site.
