Hydrogels are attracting increased interest as wound dressings due to their biomimetic properties, which create a moist environment conducive to natural wound healing. In this study, a PVA-PEG/gly-CNF-LG hydrogel incorporating cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and lemongrass essential oil (LG) into the pol...
