Antimicrobial films containing green synthesised zinc oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Abstract

Synthetic biomaterials have been vastly investigated for different biomedical applications such as wound healing adhesives, implant devices and drug delivery systems. The effort on this field of study promoted the development of novel medical treatments and therapies leading to a significantly enhancement on people’s health and life expectancy. However, infections are still one of the main complications related to the use of these materials.
