Substantivity [24] of a series of hydrophobe modified cationic polysaccharides to skin, hair, and an anionic vinyl substrate (skin substitute) was shown using ESCA, even after repeated washings with distilled water. ESCA, being an expensive technique not suitable for screening purposes. 

A new technology, natural bioactive dressing used as skin substitute has proved useful in wound management. This substitute is about one of the few that can produce fully functional skin. For boils and most skin infections, the most effective treatment appears to be direct...

As a physician, Burke knew a great deal about the biology of skin function, but not as much about the structural characteristics of a possible skin substitute. To help him with this part of his research, Burke turned to loannis V. Yannas, then assistant professor of fibers and polymers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), just across the Charles River from MGH. Working together Burke and Yannas developed the first successful skin substitute by 1977. In November of that year, they were awarded a patent for a "Multilayer Membrane Useful as Synthetic Skin."...

Chitin. Chitin, the seeond most abundant organie compound, is similar to cellulose, exeept it is composed of Af-acetylglucosamine in a jS-(l,4) linkage. (The chitin structure can be recovered from Equation (A.3-2) by replacing the -OH at carbon-2 with an -NH-CO-CH3.) Because chitin is readily available and occurs naturally in many insects and marine organisms, it is a popular component of cosmetic and health-care products. The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare approved chitosan as an ingredient for hair-care products in 1986, carboxymethylchitosan as skin-care product in 1987, and chitin non-woven fabric as skin substitute in 1988 [2].
