Hydrogel-based antibacterial materials with multi-functions are of great significance for healthcare. Herein, a facile and one-step method was developed to fabricate an injectable hydrogel (named CMCS/OPC hydrogel) based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and oligomeric procyanidin (OPC). In this hydrogel system, OPC serves as the dynamic crosslinker to bridge CMCS macromolecules mainly through dynamical hydrogen bonds, which endows this hydrogel with excellent injectable, self-healing, and adhesi ...[more]
