In this study, an innovative conductive hybrid biomaterial was synthetized using collagen (COL) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in order for it to be used as a wound dressing. The hydrogels were plasticized with glycerol and enzymatically cross-linked with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). A successful interaction among the components was demonstrated by FTIR, XRD, and XPS.

- A new conductive composite material for wound dressing was created using graphene oxide, nanocellulose, and tannins from pine bark, reduced with polydopamine.
- * The study involved varying the amounts of nanocellulose and tannins, and a detailed characterization showed successful physical interactions among the components.
- * While increasing nanocellulose improved strength and wound healing, it negatively affected thermal properties and conductivity; tannins slightly decreased cell viability but the composites still showed promise for wound healing applications.*
