Conductive adhesive self-healing nanocomposite hydrogel wound dressing for photothermal therapy of infected full-thickness skin wounds

Bacteria-infected wounds and antibiotics abuse have become significant burdens to patients and medical systems. Thus, designing a non-antibiotic-dependent multifunctional wound dressing for treating bacteria-infected wounds is urgently desired. Herein, a series of conductive self-healing and adhesive nanocomposite hydrogels with a remarkable photothermal antibacterial property based on N-carboxyethyl chitosan (CEC) and benzaldehyde-terminated...
