Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

This chapter aims to provide a short summary of the use of biological and engineering principles in wound healing applications to achieve tissue repair and regeneration. We also aim at providing the readers with a review of biomaterials, polymer-based dressing; films, hydrogels, current scaffolds, etc. used in wound healing application. Finally, the chapter aims to give information about functional dressings, bioactive matrices for wound healing and finally the chapter ends by giving information about some clinical trials and upcoming future trends.
