ABCT Students Win Grand Prize at PolyU International Future Challenge Hong Kong Region

The Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology (ABCT) is delighted to congratulate our student team for winning the Grand Prize (Student Track) at the PolyU International Future Challenge Hong Kong Region. This prestigious award recognises their outstanding project, “Sprayable biomimetic double mask for anti-scar wound healing.”

The team’s innovative solution, Sprayable Biomimetic Double Masks (BDMs), offers a novel approach to wound care by closely mimicking the natural healing process to prevent excessive scarring. Through rapid autophasing and hierarchical programming, BDMs form a bi-layered structure that resembles human skin. The top hydrophobic layer (PGLADMA) acts as a protective scab, while the bottom hydrophilic layer (GelMA) ensures tissue adhesion and elasticity. This dual-layer system enhances haemostasis, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration, accelerating healing and minimising scarring.

The Department of ABCT congratulates the team on their remarkable achievement and wishes them continued success in their research and innovation journey.
