Recent Applications and Evaluation of Metal Nanoparticle–Polymer Hybrids as Chronic Wound Dressings

Table 2

The characteristics and applications of different nanoparticle loaded films nanocomposite are discussed.

Biopolymers/synthetic polymers	Nanoparticles	Properties	Applications	References
3M cavilon no sting barrier	ZnO (ZONPs)	Highly protective against UV irradiation	Wound healing photoprotection film	[172]
Chitosan and arginine (CS–Arg)	AuNPs	Exceptional antibacterial properties against Gram + and Gram − bacteria, improved hydrophilic nature, enhanced mechanical strength, and good biocompatibility	Wound healing medication and future tissue engineering material	[173]
Chitosan—polyvinyl alcohol (PVA–CS)	AgO–NPs	Effective antibacterial activity against S. aureus than that E. coli, good mechanical properties. Excellent swelling capability	Wound healing film	[174]
Gellan gum (GG)	TiO2 (TONPs)	Antibacterial against Gram + and Gram − and good swelling properties	Wound healing film	[175]
Chitosan (CS)	Sr–TONPs	Antibacterial against Gram + and Gram − and highly biocompatible	Wound healing film	[176]
