Nanoparticle based wound dressings with microwave-enhanced antimicrobial function

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop a system capable of eliminating the bacterial infection in clinical environment, by means of new type of wound dressing based on macroporous polymer hydrogel matrix. The matrix has embedded conductive nanoparticles with antimicrobial and bactericidal activity, which can be enhanced by external application of microwaves.
