Cutaneous wounds frequently require the use of patches to promote healing, nevertheless, most commercial products are fabricated with non-biodegradable synthetic substrates that pose environmental problems upon disposal. Herein, the partnership between two biobased nanofibrous polymers, namely a polysaccharide (nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC)) and a protein (lysozyme nanofibers (LNFs)), is explored to design sustainable fibrous patches with good mechanical performance and biological functionalities for wound healing applications. Two patches with different morphologies were prepared by vacuum filtration of a water-based suspension of both nanofibers and by sequential filtration of the separated suspensions (layered patch). The resultant freestanding patches exhibited high thermal stability (up to 250 degrees C), mechanical performance (Young's modulus >= 3.7 GPa), and UV-barrier properties. The combination of the bioactive LNFs with the mechanically robust NFC conveyed antioxidant activity (76-79% DPPH scavenging) and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (3.5-log CFU mL(-1) reduction), which is a major benefit to prevent microbial wound infections. Moreover, these patches are biocompatible towards L929 fibroblast cells, and the in vitro wound healing assay evidenced a good migration capacity leading to an almost complete wound occlusion. Therefore, the partnership between the two naturally derived nanofibrous polymers represents a potential blueprint to engineer sustainable multifunctional patches for cutaneous wound healing.
