Pharmacologically active hydrogels derived from silicon glycerolates and chitosan

Novel hybrid chitosan-containing hydrogels were obtained from various functionalized silicon glycerolates by the sol—gel method. According to SEM images of aerogels prepared by supercritical drying in liquid CO 2 , chitosan serves as a template in the structuring of hybrid hydrogels. The hydrogels obtained are nontoxic, exhibit pronounced hemostatic activity, and are promising for medical use.
