Ultrathin two-dimensional polydopamine nanosheets for multiple free radical scavenging and wound healing

Abstract

Novel 2D polydopamine nanosheets were successfully prepared by using a simple but effective “bottom-up” synthesis method. The ultrathin polydopamine nanosheets exhibit excellent multiple free radical scavenging activities including DPPH˙ and ABTS˙⁺ free radicals, especially O₂˙⁻. Full-thickness skin defect regeneration was accelerated by treatment with the nanosheets.
