Preparation of graphene oxide based hydrogel for diabetics foot ulcer

Abstract

Diabetes is a condition that impairs the body's ability to process glucose otherwise known as blood sugar. High levels of blood glucose caused by diabetes can over time affect the nerves and lead to poor blood circulation making it hard for the blood needed for skin repair to reach areas of the body affected by wounds. In this paper we produce a component material which heals the wound for diabetic patients in a short period of time. Normally, wound is healed in slow process therefore we designed a hydrogel for fast recovery in diabetic patient. In this work the Graphene oxide (GO) is synthesized using popular chemical method and the particle size is characterized using FTIR analysis. This Graphene Oxide (GO) as hydrogel can make the process of healing is faster method for diabetic patients. Graphene oxide (GO) have been incorporated into hydrogels to improve the properties of conventional hydrogel and healing property.
