Tailoring mechanical and antibacterial properties of chitosan/gelatin nanofiber membranes with Fe3O4 nanoparticles for potential wound dressing application

- Fe3O4 nanoparticles/chitosan (CS)/gelatin (GE) nanofibers were electrospun facilely.
- Introducing Fe3O4 enhanced mechanical and antibacterial properties of CS/GE nanofibers.
- Mechanical enhancement relied on good filler dispersion and filler-matrix adhesion.
- Fe3O4/CS/GE nanofiber membranes are promising candidates as wound dressings.
