Abstract

An ideal wound dressing should be able to create moist conditions, control exudate, maintain body stability, and protect against infection. In addition, the need to reduce environmental pollution and the carbon footprint of synthetic materials encourages the development of environmentally friendly wound dressings. This study aims to examine the use of potato starch as a base material for the manufacture of biocomposites for wound dressing applications and analyze the effect of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) filler addition on the physical and chemical properties of biocomposites. The method used in this research consists of raw material preparation, biocomposite processing stage and testing stage. An investigation has been made to predict the effects of fillers of CaCO3 with different concentration from 4 to 9 percents on the properties of Chitosan and Potato Starch Bio-composite for wound dressing applications. The procedure was to prepare the chitosan and starch preparation with equal proportion, fillers application on hydrogel, drying and characterization. The characterizations on synthesized bio-composite were its absorption percentage, swelling test and presented functional groups test. The stages of this research consist of raw material preparation, biocomposite processing, and testing phases. In the swelling test, the highest percentage swelling value was obtained with the potato starch-chitosan composition variation (w/v) of (40:60) with 6% CaCO3, which amounted to 249.54%. In the absorption test, the biocomposite absorption percentage of the potato starch-chitosan composition showed the best results, specifically at the variation (w/v) of (40:60) with 6% CaCO3, amounting to 72.09%. The results of functional group analysis (FTIR) contained in the biocomposite show functional groups O-H, C-H, and C-O, indicating that the wound dressing tends to be hydrophilic and these groups suggest that the wound dressing is easily degradable.
