A group of researchers led by Cornell University has identified a new way to harness the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of a botanical compound to make nanofiber-coated cotton bandages that fight infection and help wounds heal more quickly. The biofunctionalized dressing has excellent antibacterial performance against gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species and effectively eradicated E. coli and staph bacteria in testing.
