Graphene-based composite materials beneficial to wound healing

Abstract

We use electrospinning to prepare chitosan–PVA nanofibers containing graphene. The nanofibers can be directly used in wound healing: graphene, as an antibacterial material, can be beneficial for this. A possible antibacterial mechanism for graphene is presented.
