Abstract
Through the successful grafting of epoxypropyl dimethyl dodecyl ammonium chloride (EDDAC) onto bacterial cellulose (BC) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) surfaces, a novel and stable antibacterial wound dressing (BC-EDDAC-CNTs) was fabricated. Compared with bare BC membranes, BC-EDDAC exhibited significantly enhanced antibacterial activity. Furthermore, a nonenzymatic uric acid (UA) sensor was constructed on the membrane surface via the electrodeposition of AuNPs, resulting in an antibacterial wound dressing with integrated UA-sensing capability. In vitro evaluations further indicated high L929 cell viability (∼94%–95%), very low hemolysis (<0.5%), and effective bactericidal activity confirmed by Live/Dead staining. This multifunctional dressing enables simultaneous infection control and metabolic monitoring along a clinically relevant chronic wound management workflow, including passive exudate sampling, low-volume analysis, and real-time electrochemical readout.
