Abstract Adhesives with improved fluid handling and stable mechanical properties are gaining increasing interest in wound care due to improved wound healing conditions. Silicone adhesives possess in general excellent oxygen permeability but poor liquid water absorption and transport due to their inherent hydrophobicity. Herein, we present a novel glycerol-silicone hybrid adhesive with improved fluid handling properties as a result of the incorporation of relatively monodisperse glycerol droplets distributed homogenously throughout the silicone adhesive. The discrete glycerol droplets promote water absorption when the adhesive comes into contact with an aqueous phase due to the hygroscopic nature of glycerol. Additionally, the adhesives' performance, evaluated in terms of mechanical properties, peel, and tack, is shown not to be compromised by presence of the glycerol droplets, mainly due to the so-called solid stiffening effect introduced by their interfacial energies.

甘油-有机硅粘合剂具有出色的流体处理能力和机械性能，适用于高级伤口护理应用

摘要 由于伤口愈合条件的改善，具有改进的流体处理能力和稳定机械性能的粘合剂在伤口护理中越来越受到关注。有机硅粘合剂通常具有优异的透氧性，但由于其固有的疏水性，液体吸水性和输送性较差。在本文中，我们提出了一种新型甘油-有机硅混合粘合剂，由于在整个有机硅粘合剂中均匀分布的相对单分散的甘油液滴的掺入，该粘合剂具有改进的流体处理性能。由于甘油的吸湿性，当粘合剂与水相接触时，离散的甘油液滴促进吸水。此外，根据机械性能、剥离和粘性评估的粘合剂性能，
