open-in-new
<h2 id="characteristics">Characteristics</h2> <h3>Chemical characteristics</h3> <p>Hydrogel dressings exhibit chemical or physical <a href="/facts/Cross-link/zeQ9hEAA">cross-linking</a>. Chemical cross-linking involves formation of covalent bonds between polymer chains. Chemically cross-linked hydrogel dressings are synthesized by chain-growth polymerization, step-growth polymerization, enzymes, or irradiation polymerization. Synthetic dressings incorporating nanoparticles such as PVA and polyethylene glycol (PEG) are assembled using chemical cross-linking mechanisms.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17"><sup>17</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18"><sup>18</sup></a> Physically cross-linked hydrogel dressings are assembled via ionic interaction, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, or crystallization.
