The film with cationic polymer useful as an antimicrobial wound dressing. (a) Melamine−modified silk fibroin (SF–Mel) was synthesized by covalent conjugation between silk fibroin and melamine. (b) Polycaprolactone (PCL) blended with SF–Mel enhanced the mechanical properties. (c) SF–Mel/PCL nanofiber films were fabricated via electrospinning. (d) Nanofiber membrane comprising SF–Mel/PCL was constructed as a wound dressing for skin repair. Adapted with permission from [180]. Copyright 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
