Multifunctional wound dressings are currently being developed to address variousneeds in wound care. However, many of these dressings contain compounds that are potentially toxic or rely on conventional antibiotics, which are becoming less effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria [1]. This study aims to synthesize multifunctional skin dressings for wound healing and infection prevention using environmentally friendly techniques, incorporating functionalized silsesquioxanes [2] and natural products. The formulation is designed to cover a wide range of biological functions, including pH response, temperature responsiveness, biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties without conventional antibiotics, and tissue regeneration.
