Abstract
ZnO has been widely investigated as important biomaterials and antibacterial materials. However, the aggregation of nanoparticles and its potential toxicity may hinder its final application. Herein, biocompatible gelatin chains were grafted on the surface of ZnO via mussel inspired method to prevent the aggregation of the ZnO nanoparticles. The in vitro test showed that the gelatin can greatly improve the biocompatibility of ZnO, while the antibacterial properties of ZnO against both E. coli and S. aureus were maintained.Entities:
