The novel controlled and localized delivery of drug molecules to target tissues using an external electric stimulus makes electro-responsive systems both feasible desirable, as well entailing a reduction in the side effects. Novel micro-scaffold matrices were designed based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) graphene oxide (GO) via electrospinning. Quercetin (Q), natural flavonoid, was loaded into fiber order investigate potential model for wound dressing applications. physico-chemical properties,...
