Abstract

Boron, an essential element for human, can be a key factor in wound healing. For this reason, in this study, role of boron products (boric acid and zinc borate) and boron product doped new synthesized graphene hydrogels was investigated for burn healing via in vitro viability-biocompatibility tests and microbiological analysis. It has been determined that boric acid and zinc borate are effective against microbial agents that are frequently seen in burns. In L929 mouse fibroblast cell line, BA, ZB and graphene hydrogels did not show any toxic effects, either alone or doped Graphene Hydrogel forms, except at very high doses. These substances showed antioxidant properties by protecting cells against H2O2 damage. The migration test performed on boron products also confirms the protective effect of boron products. In this study, the synthesis of graphene hydrogels was made for the first time, and their characterization was completed with appropriate instrumental analyses. The results of the biocompatibility tests of graphene hydrogels show that they are at least 96% biocompatible.
