COATED SOLID PLIANT MATERIALS

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of coated solid, pliant materials, such as textiles and fabrics. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, these coated solid pliant materials are used as wound dressings, wherein the coatings provide photocatalytic, antimicrobial and/or immunomodulatory properties to the material. Furthermore, due to the layer being very thin, breaking and flaking off of metal pieces from the solid pliant material can be avoided, which is especially useful when the material is used as a wound dressing. The linker layer, which is situated underneath the photocatalytic layer, protects the textile and/or fabric from degradation or other chemical alteration due to the photocatalytic effect. In addition the linker layer provides better attachment for the photocatalytic coating.
