MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061212 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on May 14, for 'a bio-nanocomposite film for anti-inflammatory and wound-healing applications.'
Inventor(s) include Divya Bharathi J; and Dr. Suseem SR.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a bio-nanocomposite film for anti-inflammatory and wound-healing applications. The film comprises a polysaccharide matrix derived from Phaseolus vulgaris including starch and cellulose, incorporated with curcumin and zinc oxide nanoparticles, and a plasticizer. The matrix forms a biocompatible network that encapsulates the curcumin and uniformly disperses and stabilizes the zinc oxide nanoparticles to prevent aggregation. The film enables controlled release of the active components, thereby providing enhanced anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties. The invention further demonstrates improved fibroblast migration, proliferation, cell viability, and accelerated wound closure. A process for preparing the film includes extraction of polysaccharides, preparation of a polymeric dispersion, incorporation of curcumin and zinc oxide nanoparticles, addition of plasticizer, casting, and drying to obtain the bio-nanocomposite film suitable for biomedical applications."
