Abstract
This study focused on the manufacturing of functional superabsorbent sponges using natural polymers. An alginate/CMC-embedded dextran hybrid dual-layer formulation was prepared using the freeze-drying method. The physical properties of the formulation were characterized using a field emission scanning electron microscope and a universal testing machine, and the swelling ratio was calculated. Cell viability assays were performed using keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). The results showed that this formulation can absorb a large amount of moisture and provide morphological stability through its tensile strength and uniform porosity, and this was verified by its biocompatibility. We believe that in the future, by combining this novel hybrid dual-layer superabsorbent sponge with antibacterial agents with excellent porosity, it would serve as a medical material for producing bandages that can absorb blood and body fluids, feminine hygiene products, and functional antibacterial masks.
