Nanomaterials with potential use for wound treatment. Nanomaterials cover several groups of materials including nanoparticles, nanocomposites and different coatings and scaffolding materials. Nanoparticles can be divided into two groups depending on their chemical basis, which comprises inorganic (metal—Ag, Au, Zn, Cu etc.; non-metal—for example, Se) and organic (polymeric and non-polymeric) nanoparticles. From the perspective of nanocomposites, four groups can be recognized: porous materials, colloids, copolymers and gels. For the wound coating and scaffolds, hydrogels, nanofibers, films and membranes can be used. Adapted from [25] under a CC BY 4.0 license.
