Electroactive composite for wound dressing en en Skin tissue engineering and wound healing are two applications where conductive biomaterials based on metal compounds, conductive polymers, or piezoelectric polymers have great potential. This is because of their excellent antibacterial and antioxidant activities, similar conductivity to human skin, photothermal effect, and electrically controlled drug delivery. Wound healing can be accelerated by using conductive materials to stimulate the activity of electrically responsive cells. Electroactive wound dressings can be made by combining non-conductive polymers with conductive compounds, and this article focuses on current developments in this area. It is detailed how these electroactive dressings (conductive polymers, metal-based, and piezoelectric-based dressings) accelerate the healing process, and the properties of these electroactive dressings are examined. Furthermore, electrical stimulation techniques for accelerating wound healing are discussed. The possibility for electroactive wound dressings to be used in vivo to track the progress of wound healing is also mentioned, as are future development directions. 13 23 Abhishek Gupta Faculty of Education, Health and Wellbeing (FEHW) University of Wolverhampton United Kingdom info@jourcc.com Zahra Amerei Bozcheloei Department of Science Laboratory Tehran University of Medical Sciences Iran info@jourcc.com Alireza Ghofrani Department of Biomedical Engineering Amirkabir University of Technology Iran alirezaqofrani@gmail.com Somayeh Keramati Nejad School of Nursing and Midwifery Birjand University of Medical Science Iran info@jourcc.com Prithviraj Chakraborty Mata Gujri College of Pharmacy Mata Gujri University India info@jourcc.com Rushikesh Suresh Ambekar Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur India info@jourcc.com Elham Barati School of Medicine Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Iran info@jourcc.com Conductive material Piezoelectric material Electrical stimulation Endogenous electrical field Electroactive dressing Article3.pdf [1] D.-W.
