Eugenol micro-emulsion reinforced with silver nanocomposite electrospun mats for wound dressing strategies

Abstract

Wound management is a complex process that involves application of tissue scaffolds/nanocomposites for wound healing treatment. An ideal wound dressing possesses excellent mechanical property, good biocompatibility and effective antibacterial activity....

A review on contemporary nanomaterial-based therapeutics for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) with special reference to the Indian scenario

“…Nanoscale Advances viability and percentage red blood cell breakdown in the human biological system were found to be 69.81% and 19.44% compared to the silver Band-Aid-associated silver nanoparticles, respectively. 162 The experimental results exhibited that the essential oil-based electrospun nanobrous mats loaded with silver nanocomposites showed a sustained mode of silver ion release in the simulated wound system. Therefore, due to the sustained release of silver ions from the nanobers, very low cytotoxicity was observed upon interaction with human white blood cells and human red blood cells.…”

Electrospinning based on benign solvents: current definitions, implications and strategies

“…127 This system was comprehensively studied by Augustine et al , 128 who focused on plant-sourced Ag, and Sethuram et al with an Eugenol-stabilized dispersion. 129 The higher tensile strength of the crosslinked PVA system has also been exploited in combination with multi-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene 130,131 or with graphene oxide and a TiO 2 coating 132 for reinforced conductive mats. Alternatively, Wei and coworkers dispersed carbon-based quantum dots for simultaneous fluorescent and electrochemical detection of peroxides and glucose.…”

Scalable methods for directional assembly of fillers in polymer composites: Creating pathways for improving material properties

“…Electrospinning can fabricate fine polymer fibers with diameters from tens to hundreds of nanometers through the application of a static electric field. [186] The morphology of electro-spun nanofibers can be controlled by a variety of processing parameters, including voltage, [186][187][188] flow rate, [189,190] target distance, [191][192][193] solution viscosity, [194][195][196][197] and environmental humidity. [198][199][200][201] Building on the advantage of electrospinning which can improve the mechanical property through creating nanofibers with high aspect ratio, [202,203] aligning fillers within the fibers can further enhance composite performance to meet the requirement of many advanced applications.…”
