Electrospun PVA-grapheneoxide-PEDOT:PSS nanofibers for wound healing

Nanotechnology has been broadly acknowledged in scaffold development for wound healing applications. Nanofibers-based scaffolds are highly valued for its mechanical and biological properties.

description Nanotechnology has been broadly acknowledged in scaffold development for wound healing applications. Nanofibers-based scaffolds are highly valued for its mechanical and biological properties.
