Functionalisation of electrospun nanofibres: addressing complications in wound healing using limonene as an antibacterial agent and microalgae as a source of oxygen by Leah Williams

“…The beneficial implications of developing a system which could overcome these are associated with an accelerated wound healing process; the time required for wound care would be reduced, therefore also shortening the duration of pain, trauma, or even disability, while improving quality of life, and healthcare costs and treatment times would also see reductions.Electrospun fibres have been identified as holding potential in wound healing, primarily due to attractive features of the technique like versatility, rapid and simple production, and low production cost. …”
