Polyester is often associated with disco-era clothing or modern technical fabrics, but the polymer now has a new use that could revolutionize the way burn wounds are treated. A team of researchers from Tokai University in Japan has developed an ultrathin coating called a nanosheet that can be placed over burn wounds to seal out dangerous bacteria.
