“…It can be seen that the expression of CD31 in PCL@PDA-ε-PL, 30%-Janus-Without NIR, and 30%-Janus-With NIR groups was higher than that in the control and 3 M Tegaderm film groups. The improved angiogenesis was mainly associated with the effect of anti-inflammatory IBU, since inflammation during wound healing could inhibit blood vessel formation . Thus, the nanofiber membrane groups exhibited better wound healing effects during the postsurgery treatment, especially the 30%-Janus-With NIR group, which showed the best healing capacity.…”

Wound healing is a systematic and complex process that involves various intrinsic and
extrinsic factors affecting different stages of wound repair. Therefore,
multifunctional wound dressings that can modulate these factors to
promote wound healing are in high demand. In this work, a multifunctional
Janus electrospinning nanofiber dressing with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
properties, controlled release of drugs, and unidirectional water
transport was prepared by depositing coaxial nanofibers on a hydrophilic
poly(ε-caprolactone)@polydopamine-ε-polyl-lysine
(PCL@PDA-ε-PL) nanofiber membrane. The coaxial nanofiber was
loaded with the phase change material lauric acid (LA) in the shell
layer and anti-inflammatory ibuprofen (IBU) in the core layer. Among
them, LA with a melting point of 43 °C served as a phase change
material to control the release of IBU. The phase transition of LA
was induced by near-infrared (NIR) irradiation that triggered the
photothermal properties of PDA. Moreover, the Janus nanofiber dressing
exhibited synergistic antimicrobial properties for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus
aureus due to the photothermal properties of PDA and
antibacterial ε-PL. The prepared Janus nanofiber dressing also
exhibited anti-inflammatory activity and biocompatibility. In addition,
the Janus nanofiber dressing had asymmetric wettability that enabled
directional water transport, thereby draining excessive wound exudate.
The water vapor transmission test indicated that the Janus nanofiber
dressing had good air permeability. Finally, skin wound healing evaluation
in rats confirmed its efficacy in promoting wound healing. Therefore,
this strategy of designing and manufacturing a multifunctional Janus
nanofiber dressing had great potential in wound healing applications.

“…149 Meanwhile, the hydrogel maintains a stable rate of drug release over a long period of time (ranging from hours to months), which is conducive to reducing the doses required to treat patients over time. 150 Ye et al 151 prepared antibacterial composite hydrogels with efficient NIR triggered drug release by encapsulating antimicrobial drugs (rifampicin), NIR-absorbing dye (indocyanine green) and phase change materials (eutectic mixture of fatty acids) into halloysite nanotubes, and incorporating them into alginate hydrogels. Meanwhile, the use of a phase change material with a melting point of 39 °C facilitated the gel response to the NIR-triggered drug release.…”

Antibacterial hydrogels, as novel antibacterial materials with inherent or exogenous antibacterial activity, can be used for local use, controlled drug release, stimulus-responsive activation, synergistic antibacterial therapy, realizing its translational applications in different medical fields.
“…By exploiting the different chemical composition and the different surface charges, HNTs can be modified, resulting in different nanomaterials with tunable properties that have found applications as fillers in polymeric matrices [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], drug carriers and delivery systems [ 20 , 21 ], supports for metal nanoparticles for catalytic purposes [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], and so on [ 26 , 27 ] ( Figure 5 a,b). The growing number of halloysite-related publications and patents attests to the clay’s growing popularity.…”
Section: Halloysite Nanotubes Based Antimicrobial Materialsmentioning
Bacterial infections represent one of the major causes of mortality worldwide. Therefore, over the years, several nanomaterials with antibacterial properties have been developed. In this context, clay minerals, because of their intrinsic properties, have been efficiently used as antimicrobial agents since ancient times. Halloysite nanotubes are one of the emerging nanomaterials that have found application as antimicrobial agents in several fields. In this review, we summarize some examples of the use of pristine and modified halloysite nanotubes as antimicrobial agents, scaffolds for wound healing and orthopedic implants, fillers for active food packaging, and carriers for pesticides in food pest control.
