Poly (ε-Caprolactone)/Cellulose Nanofiber Blend Nanocomposites Containing ZrO2 Nanoparticles: A New Biocompatible Wound Dressing Bandage with Antimicrobial Activity.

In the present study, the poly (ε-caprolactone)/cellulose nanofiber containing ZrO nanoparticles (PCL/CNF/ZrO ) nanocomposite was synthesized for wound dressing bandage with antimicrobial activity. PCL/CNF/ZrO nanocomposite was synthesized in three different zirconium dioxide amount (0.5, 1, 2%).

Carbohydrate polymer-based silver nanocomposites: Recent progress in the antimicrobial wound dressings.

Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process which affects the quality of life in patients and annually causes high costs for the health system, worldwide. Polymers from natural origins such as polysaccharides have gained particular interest between researchers for wound dressing applications due to their abundance in nature, biocompatibility with human tissues, and ideal physicochemical properties. Aside from their supportive effect in wound care, polysaccharides and their derivatives can actively contribute to the healing process.

Chitin/silk fibroin/TiO bio-nanocomposite as a biocompatible wound dressing bandage with strong antimicrobial activity.

Interconnected microporous biodegradable and biocompatible chitin/silk fibroin/TiO nanocomposite wound dressing with high antibacterial, blood clotting and mechanical strength properties were synthesized using freeze-drying method. The prepared nanocomposite dressings were characterized using SEM, FTIR, and XRD analysis. The prepared nanocomposite dressings showed high porosity above 90% with well-defined interconnected porous construction.

Preparation of biocompatible and biodegradable silk fibroin/chitin/silver nanoparticles 3D scaffolds as a bandage for antimicrobial wound dressing.

One of the most serious challenge in wound care is difficulty of the infection control in wound healing process. Wound dressings with antimicrobial effects are useful to minimize the bacterial infections of wounds. In this study a biocompatible and biodegradable silk fibroin/chitin nanocomposite scaffolds with various content of silver nanoparticles (0.
