| Abstract | Cotton gauze fabric was functionalized with 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) with the aim of developing wound dressings with antibiofilm activity and tunable debriding activity. Cotton-g-DMAEMA gauzes were prepared via one-step grafting (direct method) using 60Co γ-rays as source to initiate the polymerization process. The effects of absorbed dose, dose rate, and monomer concentration on the degree of grafting were evaluated in detail. Some cotton-g-DMAEMA gauzes were subsequently quaternized with methyl iodide. Grafting of DMAEMA and sequential quaternization were confirmed by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy; thermal properties were analyzed using TGA, and morphology by scanning electron microscopy. Grafting of DMAEMA gauzes enhanced blood absorption and collagenase activity, while further quaternization led to a remarkable inhibition of the proteinase activity. Their antimicrobial features were analyzed by evaluating their biofilm inhibiting and biofilm eradicating properties in an in vitro chronic wound model. Although the non-quaternized gauzes only displayed moderate biofilm inhibitory properties at best, the quaternized cotton-g-DMAEMA bearing the highest content of DMAEMA displayed strong biofilm inhibiting and biofilm eradicating properties. This indicates that quaternized cotton-g-DMAEMA gauzes are less prone to be colonized by bacteria and can notably reduce the number of colonies in an infected wound. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
