Antibacterial anti-oxidant electroactive injectable hydrogel as self-healing wound dressing with hemostasis and adhesiveness for cutaneous wound healing
TL;DR: The antibacterial electroactive injectable hydrogel dressing prolonged the lifespan of dressing relying on self-healing ability and significantly promoted the in vivo wound healing process attributed to its multifunctional properties, meaning that they are excellent candidates for full-thickness skin wound healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial adhesive injectable hydrogels with rapid self-healing, extensibility and compressibility as wound dressing for joints skin wound healing.
TL;DR: In vivo experiments indicated that curcumin loaded hydrogels significantly accelerated wound healing rate with higher granulation tissue thickness and collagen disposition and upregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in a full-thickness skin defect model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesive Hemostatic Conducting Injectable Composite Hydrogels with Sustained Drug Release and Photothermal Antibacterial Activity to Promote Full-Thickness Skin Regeneration During Wound Healing
TL;DR: These adhesive hemostatic antioxidant conductive photothermal antibacterial hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid-graft-dopamine and reduced graphene oxide using a H2 O2 /HPR (horseradish peroxidase) system are prepared for wound dressing and are an excellent wound dressing for full-thickness skin repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Injectable antibacterial conductive nanocomposite cryogels with rapid shape recovery for noncompressible hemorrhage and wound healing.
TL;DR: The authors report on the development of injectable, biocompatible carbon nanotube reinforced quaternized chitosan cryogels with shape memory, conductivity and antibacterial properties for hemostatic control for lethal noncompressible hemorrhage hemostasis and wound healing.

Journal ArticleDOI
Simple Route to Size-Tunable Degradable and Electroactive Nanoparticles from the Self-Assembly of Conducting Coil–Rod–Coil Triblock Copolymers
TL;DR: In this article, a series of coil-rod-coil triblock copolymers consisting of a middle aniline pentamer (AP) segment and two polycaprolactone (PCL) segments were easily synthesized by a combination of a ring-opening polymerization of CL initiated by an anileine dimer (AD) giving AD-PCL and an oxidative coupling reaction between the AD and p-phenylenediamine.
