Abstract
Nanotechnology has been comprehensively applied as a new approach to managing wound healing. Particularly, nanoclays are being used to improve traditional wound healing approaches or new therapies. Nanoclays are nanoscale aluminosilicates with remarkable intrinsic properties, including the capacity to promote hemostatic response, anti-inflammatory effects, angiogenesis, and re-epithelization. The main purpose of the present review is focusing on skin lesions, post-surgical wounds, burn wounds, and chronic ulcer skin wounds that can be treated using nanoclays, not only as vehicles for therapeutic molecules' efficacy improvement but also alone due to their native beneficial features. A systematic search of the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases revealed several studies satisfying the purpose of our study. In addition, the selected keywords were used to refine the information. Non-planar hydrous phyllosilicates have been compared with other nanoclays considering their acute specific surface area and loading capacity are strongly influenced by their structure. Nanocomposites in the powder form may be directly incorporated in polymers to form gels, biofilms, and scaffolds that may be adjustable to wound sites. Also, nanoclays can be directly incorporated into polymer mats. Regarding hydrogels/films and mats, nanoclays can improve their mechanical strength, thermal stability, viscosity, and cohesive strength. Additionally, nanoclays are able to control drug release, as well as their skin bioavailability, and seem to be promising candidates to overcome cytotoxicity problems; further in vivo toxicity studies are required.
