This book presents recent advancements in wound care systems using functionalized nanomaterials based hydrogels to prevent infection and promote wound healing. In clinical set-ups or hospitals, wound healing remains a challenging problem; a proper, efficient, and cost-effective wound management system is essential. Additionally, wounds infected with multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MAR) opportunistic pathogens cause prolonged patient debility, increasing healthcare costs. The chapters in this book comprehensively introduce functionalized nanocomposite hydrogels and their application to wound healing. It describes the synthesis, fabrication, and properties of hydrogel systems such as metal nanoparticles, ceramic nanofiber, and polymer-based nanomedicine, to function as a wound dressing to promote repair and prevent infection. This book will appeal to clinical practitioners, researchers, engineers, and scientists interested in biomaterials for applications primarily in wound care and recovery.
