Greater Fibroblast Proliferation on an Ultrasonicated ZnO/PVC Nanocomposite Material

摘要

Our results have important implications. An inexpensive material that is simultaneously beneficial to human cells and detrimental to bacteria would be a wonderful material for medical devices. It is envisioned that this simple and inexpensive approach could lead to a reduction in nosocomial infections, longer medical device lifetimes, and decreased antibiotic usage and reliance. In summary, coupled with previous antibacterial studies, the present study demonstrated that highly dispersed ZnO/PVC nanocomposites should be further studied for numerous medical device applications.
