Wound dressing research has been determined by population aging, persistence of wound infection and the increase in chronic wound cases. Thus, besides mechanical protection, wound dressings must interact with the wound and improve the healing process. To achieve this demanding goal, wound dressing research has been focussing on the development of composite wound dressings that combine the best of two or more polymeric materials. Cellulosic materials are still the most used for wound management. Their importance is reflected in the number of publications on this subject in the textile engineering field. Textile wound dressing can cause maceration to the wound and pain during removal. However, the limitations of cellulosic wound dressings can be overcome by functionalization with hydrogels, which will maintain the moisture environment and improve the drug delivery ability of cotton. Therefore, the present review summarizes the composite materials research on the functionalization of cotton cellulose with hydrogels, to be applied as a wound dressing, and the methods and techniques used to synthesize those composites.

棉纤维素的功能化可改善伤口愈合

伤口敷料的研究已由人口老龄化，伤口感染的持续存在和慢性伤口病例的增加所决定。因此，除了机械保护外，伤口敷料还必须与伤口相互作用并改善愈合过程。为了实现该苛刻的目标，伤口敷料的研究一直集中在结合两种或多种聚合物材料中的最佳成分的复合伤口敷料的开发上。纤维素材料仍然是最常用于伤口处理的材料。它们的重要性反映在纺织工程领域有关该主题的出版物数量上。纺织品伤口敷料会导致伤口浸软并在去除过程中引起疼痛。但是，纤维素伤口敷料的局限性可以通过水凝胶功能化来克服，保持水分环境，提高棉花的释药能力。因此，本综述总结了复合材料对水凝胶对棉纤维素功能化的研究，并将其用作伤口敷料，以及合成这些复合材料的方法和技术。
