Abstract

Abstract The preparation of hydrogels based on biopolymers like collagen and gum arabic gives a chance to provide novel options that can be used in biomedical field. Through a polymeric semi-interpenetration technique, collagen-based polymeric matrices can be associated with gum arabic while controlling its physicochemical and biological properties. To create novel hydrogels with their potential use in the treatment of wounds, the semi-interpenetration process, altering the concentration (0–40% by wt) of gum arabic in a collagen matrix is explored. The ability of gum arabic to create intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the collagen matrix enables the development of semi-interpenetrating polymeric networks (semi-IPN)-based hydrogels with a faster gelation time and higher crosslinking. Amorphous granular surfaces with linked porosity are present in matrices with 30% (by wt) of gum arabic, enhancing the storage modulus and thermal degradation resistance. The hydrogels swell to very high extent in hydrolytic and proteolytic environments, good hemocompatibility, and suppression of growth of pathogens like E. coli, and all it is enhanced by gum arabic included them, in addition to enabling the controlled release of ketorolac. The chemical composition of theses semi-IPN matrices have no deleterious effects on monocytes or fibroblasts, promoting their proliferation, and lowering alpha tumor necrosis factor (α-TNF) secretion in human monocytes.
