| خلاصه مقاله | The wound healing process is a complex biological process requiring therapeutic interventions to
accelerate it. Due to their unique antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, zinc oxide
nanoparticles have a high potential for promoting better wound healing. Due to these unique
features, zinc oxide nanoparticles can control the infection of the wound site and, as a result, its
effective regeneration, when they are integrated into the composition of biocompatible composites.
This feature makes nanocomposites based on zinc nanoparticles a suitable alternative for
traditional wound care methods [1]. In many chronic wounds, the wound-healing process is
delayed or not done at all due to infections or metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Zinc oxide
nanoparticles have emerged as a valuable solution to the challenges of wound healing due to their
reaction with cellular processes and the ability to combat bacterial infections [2]. On the other
hand, incorporating these nanoparticles with many biocompatible polymers such as collagen,
gelatin, chitosan, and polyethylene glycol improves the physico-mechanical properties of wound
dressings and strengthens their bioactive properties. To prepare Zinc Oxide NP-based composites,
methods, such as electrospinning and chemical deposition, should be used that provide precise
control over the dispersion of nanoparticles. The dispersion of nanoparticles in composites directly
affects their performance. Zinc oxide nanoparticles prevent infection in the wound site by creating
reactive oxygen species, and by accelerating the activity of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, they
improve wound closure and tissue repair. Various studies have shown the efficiency of these
structures in various wound-healing applications. It has been demonstrated that these materials
enhance wound healing by reducing the risk of infection and accelerating the healing process.
Additionally, they enhance collagen deposition, which is essential for tissue regeneration [3].
Among the various types of nanostructured composites, films and hydrogels based on zinc oxide
nanoparticles are particularly effective in wound healing due to their sustained antibacterial
function and the creation of a favorable healing environment. Also, in many studies, to increase
the therapeutic output, in addition to zinc oxide nanoparticles, various restorative and bioactive
agents such as growth factors are used [4].
In conclusion, significant advancements have been made in the field of wound care using Zinc
Oxide NP-based composites. These nanostructured composites offer a multi-functional approach
to treating severe and chronic wounds by combining the antibacterial benefits of zinc oxide
nanoparticles with the structural and physical support of polymers |
