Abstract(s)

The present work developed omega-3-loaded liposomes and nanostrucutres lipid carriers (NLC) to improve cotton textile substrates as wound dressing. The lipid nanosystems were incorporated into woven, non-woven and knitted cotton substrates by exhaustion and impregnation. Based on the physical-chemical characterization of the developed wound dressings, the textile strucute and type of lipid nanosystem dictated the incorporation efficiency.
