Description
Xiang Ding leads a large team behind a 2026 wound dressing made of plant-based furan polyamide nanofibers with two unlike faces, a Janus design. Early germ growth and biofilms stall healing, so the dressing aims to hit bacteria fast at the wound surface while staying gentle on tissue.
Two near-twin polymers differ by just two carbon links, yet spinning them into fibers magnified that small gap into a strong wetting contrast, with no surface treatment needed. The wet-loving face carried tetracycline, releasing useful levels within four hours. Tests cut bacterial biofilms and lowered germ counts in a pig burn model. The study is the first use of these green polymers as spun wound dressings.
