Abstract The objective of this study is to develop chitosan-based films containing Hypericum perforatum
L. and/or Citrus limon L. oils and to investigate their suitability as novel wound dressing materials.
The morphology of the chitosan-based films were observed by means of employing the scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) and the chemical structure characterization was performed via
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Hypericum perforatum L. and/or Citrus limon
L. were successfully incorporated to the chitosan films. Antibacterial, swelling, and mechanical
properties of these films were investigated. The antibacterial property was enhanced by
incorporating Hypericum perforatum L. and Citrus More >
