The hybrid films developed by a research team at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University can become a much more effective version of the existing adhesive patches.How it works:The films are a combination of polyvinyl alcohol and HKUST-1 copper-based metal-organic frameworksThe materials exhibit considerable antibacterial and antifungal properties while showing no significant side effects during testsThe properties of these materials help control the healing of epithelial tissues – the outer layer of skinThe materials are ready for preclinical studies and could lead to a new efficient method to treat skin damage.
