In this study, the novel multilayer (ML) hydrogels were developed as antibacterial wound dressings. ML hydrogels were prepared as four layers using carboxylated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-C), gelatin (G), hyaluronic acid (HA) and gelatin respectively. The upper layers (PVA-C and G) provide the moist con...
