MXene-cellulose composite for healthcare applications: synthesis, properties and future outlook

Article scientifique 2026 Anglais

Résumé

There is a growing interest in developing renewable materials to support a sustainable future. Cellulose, an abundant natural polymer, offers desirable characteristics such as tuneable functionality, excellent mechanical properties, and ease of processing into various forms. When combined with two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, cellulose can form advanced hybrid composites suitable for diverse applications, including health monitoring and wound dressing. This review provides an overview of recent progress in composites composed of cellulose and MXene, a novel 2D nanomaterial known for its outstanding electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and large surface area. It discusses their applications in healthcare, with particular emphasis on wound dressing and movement monitoring. Furthermore, the review addresses key challenges and explores future prospects for MXene-cellulose composites in these areas from a healthcare perspective.
