Assembly of Clay Nanotubes on Cotton Fibers Mediated by Biopolymer for Robust and High‐Performance Hemostatic Dressing (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 1/2023)

Clay-Based Robust Hemostats In article 2202265 by Mingxian Liu, Yuri Lvov, and co-workers, an efficient clay hemostat of halloysite nanotubes is tightly assembled onto cotton fibers and capillaries mediated by a biopolymer alginate with Ca2+ crosslinking. This dressing maintains high clotting activity after washing and only a few residuals in the wound. This strategy balances the robustness, biosafety, and effectiveness of composite wound dressing.
