Biomechanical Motion-Activated Endogenous Wound Healing through LBL Self-Powered Nanocomposite Repairer with pH-Responsive Anti-Inflammatory Effect.

Wound care is still worthy of concern, and effective measures such as electrical stimulating therapy (EST) have sparked compellingly for wound repair. Especially, portable and point-of-care EST devices get extremely desired but these are often limited by inevitable external power sources, lack of biological functions, and mechanical properties conforming to skin tissue. Herein, a dress-on-person self-powered nanocomposite bioactive repairer of wound is designed. As such, the cooperation of the film prepared by layer-by-layer self-assembling 2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HTCC), alginate (ALG), and poly-dopamine/Fe nanoparticles (PFNs), with a self-powered nanogenerator (SN) driven by motion into a nanocomposite repairer (HAP/SN-NR) is conducted. The HAP/SN-NR not only guides cell behavior (proliferation and migration rate ≈61.7%, ≈52.3%), but also facilitates neovascularization (enhanced CD31 expression >4-fold) through its self-powered EST, and the endogenous wound closure with no inflammatory in rats owing to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-clearance of HAP/SN-NR in vitro/vivo through responsively releasing poly-dopamine nanoparticles at wound pH. Enormous efforts illustrate that the repairer is endowed with high self-adhesion to tissue, self-healing, and biodegradation, accelerating wound healing (50% closure ≈5 days). This strategy sheds light on novel multifunctional portable sensor-type dressings and propels the development of intelligent medical devices.
