Lipid-Polymeric Films: Composition, Production and Applications in Wound Healing and Skin Repair Souto, Eliana B. Viseras Iborra, César Antonio Biopolymers Lipid-polymeric films Lipids Skin repair This research was funded by the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT/MCT) and European Funds (PRODER/COMPETE), under the project reference UIDB/04469/2020 (strategic fund), co-financed by FEDER, under the Partnership Agreement PT2020. The use of lipids in the composition of polymeric-based films for topical administration of bioactive ingredients is a recent research topic; while few products are commercially available, films containing lipids represent a strategic area for the development of new products. Some lipids are usually used in polymeric-based film formulations due to their plasticizing action, with a view to improving the mechanical properties of these films. On the other hand, many lipids have healing, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging properties, among others, that make them even more interesting for application in the medical-pharmaceutical field. This manuscript discusses the production methods of these films both on a laboratory and at industrial scales, the properties of the developed biopolymers, and their advantages for the development of dermatologic and cosmetic products. 2021-10-08T06:42:09Z 2021-10-08T06:42:09Z 2021-08-04 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Souto, E.B...
