Characterization of the GbH: The physical evaluation of GbH: (a) the swelling behaviour of GbH in water, NaCl solution, MgCl2 solution and blood. The SEM image: (b) and (c) control GbH with pore size range from 266-393 nm; (b.1) antibacterial ciprofloxacin drug-loaded GbH; (b.2) wound healing promoting quercetin drug-loaded GbH; (b.3) antifungal drug 5-flucytosine loaded GbH; (b.4) Combination of antibacterial drug ciprofloxacin and quercetin loaded GbH. (c.1) SEM image of patch-A GbH before the release of salicylic acid; (c.2) SEM image of patch-A GbH after the release of salicylic acid (c.3) SEM image of patch-B GbH before the release of salicylic acid; (c.4) SEM image of patch-B GbH after the release of salicylic acid. Surface functional characteristics illustrated: (d) FT-IR of standard hydrogel and GbH; (e) FT-IR of GbH with antibacterial drug ciprofloxacin (C) loaded, wound healing promoting drug, quercetin loaded (Q), GbH with antifungal drug 5-flucytosine (5F) loaded, GbH with antibacterial drug ciprofloxacin and quercetin combined (Q + C) loaded and GbH with antifungal drug 5-flucytosine and quercetin combined (Q + 5F) loaded; (f) FT-IR of patch-A and -B. DSC characterization of patches: (g) GbH and (h) patch-A and -B. (i) XRD of the GbH as patch-A and -B.
