effect of NP-30-NFs on the release of OH-30 was investigated through high-performance liquid chromatography.
Nanoparticles
The antibacterial activities of NP-30-NFs against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were studied by
bacterial plate counting. NP-30-NFs containing different concentrations of NPs were applied to mouse skin
wounds to determine their effectiveness in promoting wound healing. Results showed that NP-30-NFs exhibited
antibacterial properties and promoted skin wound healing.
