Different uses of CNMs in wound healing applications.
| Serial Number | Carbon Nanomaterial | Wound Healing Agent | Applications | Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MWCNTs conjugated with glucose oxidase | Glucose oxidase shows potent antimicrobial activity. | Wound cover or tissue healing matrices. | [144] |
| 2 | Fullerenes modified with amino group (C70–(EDA)8) | Amino groups interact with outer boundary of multidrug-resistant E. coli and C70 establish a potent hydrophobic interaction with bacteria, which causes cytoplast leakage. | Promising for clinical care of wound infection. | [145] |
| 3 | Fluorescent CDs loaded nanocomposites chitosan film | Chitosan, for making film and CDs as crosslinkers are taken, which are biocompatible and used in wound healing management. | Successful formulation regulates the water absorption behavior of chitosan-based film. | [146] |
| 4 | Oxygenated nanodiamonds (O-NDs) | O-NDs mimic peroxidase enzymein a rodent model. | Inhibiting and improving the course of periodontal inflammation. | [147] |
| 5 | Combination of oral antidiabetic agents-loaded nanofibrous scaffolds | Metformin, pioglitazone, and glibenclamide. | Improved diabetic wound healing on type-1 diabetic rats. | [148] |
| 6 | 3D graphene foam (GF) scaffold loaded with bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) | GFs loaded with MSCs clearly facilitated wound closure in animal model. | Enhanced skin wound healing. | [149] |
