Preparation, properties, and applications of polymer ultra-thin films (nanosheets). Assembling science and biomedical applications as nanoadhesive plasters

Abstract

Polymer ultrathin films of thickness several to tens of nm are known as nanosheets. Here, we report on the fabrication methods, physical properties, and biomedical applications of nanosheets, which have desirable properties such as high flexibility and high adhesiveness. The high biocompatibility of nanosheets made from biomedical polymers and the small amount required to act as a wound dressing material are expected to lead to various biomedical applications.
