Smart DEA–QCGM–CNT hydrogels with temperature- and NIR-responsive behavior achieved by the synergy between CNT and QCGM for wound dressing

Abstract

Temperature-sensitive hydrogels are always hotspot and have shown great potential in the field of biomedicine. Herein, we report N,N-Diethylacrylamide (DEA) temperature-sensitive nanocomposite hydrogels with improved mechanical properties composed of carbon...

A comprehensive review on the applications of carbon-based nanostructures in wound healing: from antibacterial aspects to cell growth stimulation

“…In the in vivo experiment, the wounds in both the control and hydrogel dressing healed well after 14 days of treatment. 190 The design of biofriendly antibacterial materials with sufficient strength to fight bacteria, while improving tissues is challenging. In this regard Zhong, et al developed a piezoelectrically active antibacterial device that changes ambient O 2 and H 2 O to ROS by piezocatalytic processes.…”

Bone-inspired (GNEC/HAPAAm) hydrogel with fatigue-resistance for use in underwater robots and highly piezoresistive sensors

“…Currently, the addition of carbon or carbon-based materials to enhance the mechanical properties of hydrogels is also a popular strategy. Hydrogels containing CNTs 15 – 20 have tensile strengths ranging from 6 to 160 kPa and tensile strains ranging from 200 to 600%. Among them, the hydrogel with the highest tensile strength, 160 kPa, had a tensile strain of less than 300% 18 .…”
